Workshop Session: Getting Electronic Health Records Right*

Monday, November 12, 4:00–6:00 PM

The successful adoption of EHRs and other health information technology can support rheumatology providers’ efforts to reduce risk, improve coordination of care, increase adherence to guidelines, and improve health outcomes for patients. For many rheumatology practices, however, successfully selecting and implementing an EHR system that has the necessary features and attributes can be difficult. Practice personnel often do not have the technical knowledge or the resources to select and fully integrate an EHR into practice workflows. As a result, many practices struggle to realize the financial and operational benefits of an EHR, and the cost of failure can be high in terms of morale and dollars.

Attend “Getting Electronic Health Records Right” on Monday, November 12, from 4:00–6:00 PM to learn from the a practicing rheumatologist who works with and understands EHRs.
