Assume that you are a health care administrator who oversees a small conglomerate of local clinics. After the recent acquisition of a physical therapy clinic, it was brought to the attention of key stakeholders that the clinics were all operating with different electronic health records software, which was affecting interoperability between clinics. In an effort to streamline communication and improve efficiency, the CEO has asked you to look up some options for a new EHR software to implement across all of your health network’s clinics.
Research the different types of electronic health records software on the market and choose the top three that would prove most beneficial to your health network. In a 12–15-slide PowerPoint presentation complete with robust speaker notes, present your findings to the CEO and other key stakeholders.
Identify all three EHR software options you have selected for consideration, and include the following in your presentation:
1. Describe system requirements and compatible interfaces for each.
2. Specify the cost of implementation.
3. Describe the timeline for integration and user training.
4. Describe privacy and security options, including patient accessibility to records.
5. Differentiate between the hardware requirements and software capabilities of each vendor system and how they will enable clinics to improve executive and clinical outcomes.
6. Explain how each system would facilitate efficient costs, criteria, and profitability and increase interoperability between clinics.
7. Discuss differences between clinical and executive support features of electronic records and health information systems.
8. List pros and cons of each software system in relation to the other options you have selected.
9. Recommend the option you believe the network should adopt and why.
