EHR Customization
-
One of the challenges many face in using EHR is, compatibility
with their current workflows of practice. The ability for an EHR
to be customized to your practice’s specific needs is essential
for utilizing the system to improve patient care, without creating
more work for you and your staff. Customization will allow practices
to integrate their EHR into their practice workflow and revenue
cycle management functions. Having a fully integrated system
will streamline patient management from appointment scheduling to
payment processing and allow providers to focus on patient care.

Equipment Interfacing
-
One of the greatest challenges in effectively implementing EHRs into
healthcare practice and settings such as clinics and hospitals has been
the need to effectively (and safely) integrate this type of technology
with the many other devices and information technologies that exist in
healthcare settings.
ChoiceOne EHR offers medical device integration and validation services to efficiently ensure interoperability between medical devices and EHR. We seek technical cooperation or joint venture agreement with all industry leaders to help our clients to achieve a seamless office environment. The medical equipment company must have an interface program and specifications commonly referred to as an SDK (software development kit).
Typically the equipment involved needs to be the latest generation that has the potential to interface.We will follow up with the manufacturer to get interoperability information, just send the make and model of your equipment.
EHR Services
ChoiceOne EHR provides a reliable, secure platform to exchange clinical, financial and administrative data while reducing complexity and costs. The digital automation of health information has traditionally focused on the formal implementation of electronic health records. Most of these EHR systems are relational databases that focus on intra-enterprise applications. However, ChoiceOne EHR has designed and developed a fully functional, scalable, distributed system with interoperability. We have identified the design challenges in EHRs and explore the potential of service-oriented architecture in the development of interoperable EHRs.- Participation can begin as early as 2011.

EHR Incentive
Electronic Health Record (EHR) or Electronic Medical Record (EMR)?
Sometimes people use the terms "Electronic Medical Record" or "EMR" when talking about Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology. Very often an Electronic Medical Record or EMR is just another way to describe an Electronic Health Record or EHR, and both providers and vendors sometimes use the terms interchangeably. For the purposes of the Medicare and Medicaid Incentive Programs, eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) must use ¬certified EHR technology. Certified EHR technology gives assurance to purchasers and other users that an EHR system or module offers the necessary technological capability, functionality, and security to help them meet the meaningful use criteria. Certification also helps providers and patients be confident that the electronic health IT products and systems they use are secure, can maintain data confidentially, and can work with other systems to share information.The Medicare EHR Incentive Program
The Medicare EHR Incentive Program will provide incentive payments to eligible professionals, eligible hospitals, and CAHs that demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology.The Medicaid EHR Incentive Program
The Medicaid EHR Incentive Program will provide incentive payments to eligible professionals, eligible hospitals, and CAHs as they adopt, implement, upgrade, or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology in their first year of participation and demonstrate meaningful use for up to five remaining participation years.-
What is "Meaningful Use"?
-
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 specifies three main components of Meaningful Use:
- The use of a certified EHR in a meaningful manner, such as e-prescribing.
- The use of certified EHR technology for electronic exchange of health information to improve quality of health care.
- The use of certified EHR technology to submit clinical quality and other measures.
-
EHR Meaningful Use Criteria Summary
-
The criteria for meaningful use will be staged in three steps over the course of the next five years.
- Stage 1 (2011 and 2012) sets the baseline for electronic data capture and information sharing.
- Stage 2 (expected to be implemented in 2013) and Stage 3 (expected to be implemented in 2015) will continue to expand on this baseline and be developed through future rule making.
-
How Do I meet Meaningful Use Requirements?
-
To qualify for incentive payments, meaningful use requirements must be met in the following ways:
- Medicare EHR Incentive Program — Eligible professionals must successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health record technology every year they participate in the program.
- Medicaid EHR Incentive Program — Eligible professionals may qualify for incentive payments if they adopt, implement, upgrade or demonstrate meaningful use in their first year of participation. They must successfully demonstrate meaningful use for subsequent participation years.
- Adopted — Acquired and installed certified EHR technology. (For example, can show evidence of installation.)
- Implemented — Began using certified EHR technology. (For example, provide staff training or data entry of patient demographic information into EHR.)
- Upgraded — Expanded existing technology to meet certification requirements. (For example, upgrade to certified EHR technology or add new functionality to meet the definition of certified EHR technology.)
-
What are "Clinical Quality Measures"?
-
To demonstrate meaningful use successfully, eligible professionals are required to report clinical
quality measures specific to eligible professionals.
- Eligible professionals must report on 6 total clinical quality measures: 3 required core measures (substituting alternate core measures where necessary) and 3 additional measures (selected from a set of 38 clinical quality measures).
