Web program looks at EHRs, performance measures
Learn how to implement performance measures in electronic health records (EHR) during an AMA webinar at 1 p.m. Eastern time March 30.
If you are interested in testing your physician performance measures for EHRs but are not certain how to begin, this webinar will provide valuable guidance. Webinar participants will learn how to effectively implement physician EHR measures and will get an overview of the implementation steps and the methodology, including the basis for having project decision points and timelines.
The webinar will help you answer the following frequently asked questions:
- How long does an implementation project take?
- What resources and skill sets are needed for a measure implementation project?
- What are the necessary steps to take before you begin to program a report?
- What if we are not currently collecting an essential data element for a measure that we want to implement?
- How do we validate that a report is pulling the correct information?
- What determines whether or not an institutional review board application needs to be submitted?
- Are there any existing tools that would make the measure implementation project progress more smoothly?
Register today for the webinar, part of a series of on measures testing. Also, access the AMA's Measures Testing Project Webinar Series archives.
