PPS Alert for Long-Term Care
Tip and tool: Implementing an EHR
Unlike acute care, postacute facilities have always strug-gled to implement electronic health records (EHR) for internal clinical documentation. EHRs can be vastly use-ful and efficient, and under the right circumstances, they can even prevent errors. However, choosing and imple-menting an EHR system is much more than a technical issue; it requires careful consideration and planning. |
