Speakers from IDC’s Health Insights and The Lahey Clinic will
offer attendees tips for managing paper & processes for smoother,
quicker path to EMR adoption
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2011--
Iron
Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), the information management
company, will sponsor a free Dec. 13 webinar offering strategies to help
healthcare organizations make a smooth and successful transition from
paper patient files to an electronic medical record (EMR) system.
A successful EMR implementation depends not just on the right software;
it calls for healthcare organizations to consider how caregivers use
patient information. Which paper records should be digitized? Who needs
access to these records? Should the entire record be made electronic?
Answers to questions like these should inform an organization’s approach
to digitizing records. And with the right strategy, healthcare
organizations can control costs and speed the transition from paper to
electronic records.
This free Webinar will outline key steps and considerations integral to
delivering the promised patient care benefits and cost savings. The
session will feature
Judy Hanover
, research director, Provider IT
Strategies for IDC Health Insights, and
Lori P. Jayne
, privacy officer
and health information management director for The Lahey Clinic.
Attendees will receive a copy of an IDC Health Insights research paper
titled “Moving from Paper to the Electronic Health Record: Optimizing
the Transition” as well as a case study of how Lahey Clinic is
implementing their EMR transition.
