ARRA and EMR Usability: What Providers Need to Know
Monday, March 1, 12:15 PM - 1:15 PM
What if U.S. healthcare providers dramatically adopted EMRs in increasing numbers, worked hard to achieve meaningful use, but never benefited financially or in efficiency or quality? Meaningful use will be dependent on adequate EMR usability. Discover how usability relates to a number of meaningful use criteria. We offer a usability checklist to assist providers in shopping for a new EMR, or to use during implementation of an existing EMR, in order to achieve efficiency, effectiveness and usefulness.
