Electronic Health Records

When EHRs can learn – gather and remember – what works best for each user, they can attain maximum efficiency.

Penn Medicine chief information officer Mike Restuccia shares four tactics for ensuring success with big data projects.

There are ways to improve any EHR system’s patient matching performance without disrupting any of its core functionality. Join this webinar to hear how Executive Director of Northeast Georgia's HealtheConnection, Alan Wills, tackled the patient matching problem with a simple plug-in service. 

Actionable insights and intelligent health care experiences lead to personalized care and improved operations for providers.

Managed Print Services (MPS) is an effective way for health care providers to reduce costs, increase security, and improve support processes around printed content. However, with the widespread adoption of Electronic Health Records, it is becoming increasingly important to capture patient health information in a digital format. Traditional MPS is now evolving beyond print, to what Gartner calls MCS, or Managed Content Services. As MCS evolves from MPS, healthcare providers can apply a similar best practice approach to get the most out of their imaging technology investment. 

Abundant data supports the premise that most healthcare breaches are caused by unauthorized access or disclosure, whether by negligence or malicious targeting.  Gartner recommends that healthcare organizations bring in a centralized, cloud-based identity and access management solution to protect access and usage of data.  This webinar will present a case study on a hospital system that is the largest Cerner deployment in the world and what they did to establish an access environment that enabled them to support and protect 37,000 employees, 22 hospitals and 185 clinics and urgent care centers.

Integration into a clinical workflow is only way to provide value and this app doesn’t offer that yet but many are hopeful Apple can do it.

Chief information officer Mike Restuccia revisits past predictions and builds on recent developments on what's ahead for the new year. 

According to a recent industry survey conducted by Solutionreach, nearly one in three patients are at risk of leaving their healthcare provider in the next two years. One in eight have already left, and not just because of changes to insurance or a move. Nearly 40 percent left because of a poor experience. Practices can’t continue trying to engage with patients in the same old ways. It’s time for a change if successful patient retention is the end goal.

In this presentation, Marc S. Williams, MD, Director, Genomic Medicine Institute, Geisinger Health System will provide an update on work being done to enable the use of genomic data within the EHR. Dr. Williams leads the EHR integration workgroup of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and he will share work being done by the Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) network, a consortium funded by NHGRI. Established in 2007 to study the feasibility of using EHR data in genomic discovery, eMERGE has studied the implementation of genomic medicine in the clinic. This talk will provide an update on eMERGE activities and summarize the enablers and barriers encountered by the eMERGE network sites that predict the success of implementation.
