Electronic Health Records (EHR, EMR)

The Michigan hospital joins a growing legion of smaller hospitals that are subscribing to cloud-based EHR, revenue cycle and patient portals, among other services.

From community hospitals to major federal government agencies, this month has already seen a number of notable happenings in the electronic health record space.

The New York City-based health system tailored its care pathways to fix inefficiencies and gained back big ROI from the hard work it did with staff workflows and process improvements.

Using the device, called a Beam, Miramont Family Medicine now sees more patients than ever – enabling physicians to be in more than one of its four locations at the same time.

The new Insight Culture of Safety Assessment for Health IT Companies was built to help vendors adhere to principles of safe design, development and use when creating products.

Spending on the Affordable Care Act marketplaces has decreased, as Veterans Affairs has ramped up IT modernization efforts, according to a Deltek report.

The Texas provider said it aims to improve patient and clinician experience with the new platform.

The health system is building out the portfolio of mission-critical apps and services it can manage for hospitals moving those into the cloud.

Federal officials said that USCG’s requirements are almost 100 percent the same as the Defense Department and, unlike Veterans Affairs, the agencies can both rollout the electronic health record under a single contract.

The agency has been operating with pencil and paper for nearly three years after a failed Epic EHR project with the State Department.
