EHR Best Practices

At HIMSS13, you can gain insight from the 2012 HIMSS Davies Award winners who will provide you with actionable information that you can leverage for your own organization's implementation of its electronic health record. 

Since 1994, the HIMSS Davies Awards of Excellence has recognized successes, lessons learned, and best practices in EHR implementation and value within the healthcare industry.

Winners are selected for their ability to show excellence in their EHR systems use, their return on investment, and impact on quality and safety, evaluated across the four categories of Management, Functionality, Technology, and Value.

Do you represent a hospital or physician practice thinking about implementing an EHR? Are you a part of a public health system seeking to impact population health with an electronic information system? Are you part of a community health organization providing care to the underserved through an open door policy? Have you already implemented, but are in search of the industry's model practices to benchmark your system? Then these sessions are for you.
