Description

Make the EHR decision with the important questions visible before the hardest choices become difficult to reverse.

Before You Choose an EHR: 50 Questions for a Better EHR Decision is a practical, vendor-neutral workbook for healthcare organizations evaluating whether to retain, improve, or replace an EHR—and, when replacement is appropriate, how to examine the decision more carefully.

The workbook examines nine interconnected areas of EHR decision-making: purpose and need; clinical workflow and patient experience; architecture and integration; data and interoperability; security, privacy, resilience and safety; implementation and training; economics and contracts; governance and decision integrity; and future flexibility and exit strategy.

The questions go beyond simple yes-or-no checklists. They are designed to help teams identify evidence, expose important unknowns, follow consequential answers, recognize reasons for further investigation, assign ownership, and determine what should happen next.

Designed for collaborative use

Different questions can be investigated by the people closest to the evidence—including executive leadership, clinical leaders, IT, security, privacy, finance, contracting, implementation teams, technical specialists, and advisors. The findings can then be brought together through the organization’s legitimate decision process.

The workbook does not assume that replacing an existing EHR is the right answer. Improving the current environment may prove better. A new EHR may prove better. The purpose is to help the best-supported decision emerge from the evidence.
