Healthcare organizations are under pressure to improve how they manage, share and protect information. Without a good handle on the policies, processes and workflow that guide the use of information inside and outside their organizations, healthcare providers could face rising costs and unintended exposure to legal and regulatory problems. Most organizations, spurred by U.S. government stimulus, have the development and deployment of electronic health records (EHRs) as a key objective. However, as they gather health-related information on patients for EHRs, they must also address requirements for legal health records (LHRs) and such regulations as HIPAA.
Thus, it is imperative for organizations to develop governance policies, processes and workflow – and implement the right technology to support policy priorities for information sharing, exchange and disclosure. Document management and workflow technology can help your organization align EHR and health information exchanges with necessary information governance policies.
Register for this web seminar to understand how today’s healthcare organizations can use document management and workflow to reduce costs, improve information management effectiveness and establish governance policies for EHRs and Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) standards and technologies.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Develop governance policies for sharing and protecting healthcare information
- Reduce the cost and complexity of the EHR and the IHR (Individual Health Record) implementation
- Use document management and workflow technology to complete the electronic patient record
- Realize higher value through improved patient care, processes and operations
