Expand AllIntroduction

In this course, you will have the opportunity to get your hands on an electronic health record (EHR)! The EHR is a systema group of elements working together to perform a function. HIM professionals need to be subject matter experts on the EHR’s various parts and how they are connected (Amatayakul, 2017).

Additionally, you will use your knowledge of the different systems to identify benefits, limitations, and challenges to using EHR. The textbook readings provide many benefits and hints at the limitations and challenges. Use your work in the EHR to help identify benefits and challenges.

Finally, you will compare how the benefits and challenges balance against each another. This involves the setting of goals for EHR use and strategic planning for the implementation of an EHR. Strategic planning includes setting priorities, such as deciding which applications are needed versus only desired. And, what should be the sequence of application implementation? The EHR Go activity will help you identify when applications are needed and which are nice to have.
