This parable about how physicians can upgrade their technology and install electronic health record software is a quick read in the spirit of The One Minute Manager and The Go Giver. It appeals to all kinds of people in the medical profession seeking to understand what is required to most effectively implement an EHR system – including the necessary technology, integration with multiple vendors, project management and workflow adaptation requirements, and training/technical support issues.
Told through the fictitious story of a young medical practice office manager named Sam, authors Morris Stemp (Stemp Systems Group, Inc.) and David Russell communicate how Sam helps the doctors in his practice focus on the key issues involved in a flawless EHR implementation to increase profits, lower costs, improve staff productivity and enable them to provide superior patient care.
Throughout the story, Sam gains new insights into both the challenges before him and how to overcome them through the advice of an empathetic mentor character known as the EHR Guru. Rather than provide Sam with a blueprint of how to proceed, he directs Sam to speak with clients of his firm who share how they overcame the challenges of implementing electronic health records and how the new technology is helping them to improve the patient experience.
The information contained in this gem is based on Stemp’s professional experience advising clients on technology for over 25 years and serving medical practices for 10 years.
