Checklists
Checklists can help you make sure you've covered all your bases. Use these links to health information technology (Health IT) resources from the Illinois Foundation for Quality Healthcare (IFQHC) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) to access helpful lists and worksheets.
These links will take you off the AMA Web site. The AMA is not responsible for the content of other Web sites.
Before you start your search for an Health IT product, you may want to use IFQHC's workflow assessment checklist (PDF) to evaluate your current workflow and processes.
While evaluating vendors and products, you may want to use these tools:
AAFP’s list of HL 7 required functions for a physician practice EHR system
IFQHC’s guidelines for evaluating EHR system (PDF)
IFQHC vendor evaluation checklist (PDF)
IFQHC’s list of questions (PDF) to ask potential EHR vendors
Here are a few sample checklists for when you're ready to implement your new Health IT:
