Federal agencies are hoping that two new tools will help provider organizations select, purchase and then make the best use of electronic health records during the course of care.
The efforts are part of an effort by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to equip providers in making good purchase decisions for EHRs.
The agencies are releasing an EHR contract guide to explain key concepts in EHR contracts to assist providers in navigating the contractual process and assist in the planning and acquisition of records systems.
