Training

Training is a vital part of your EHR implementation. EHR training ensures that your office is using the system correctly. Without the proper training you can spend months trying to learn the ins and outs of the EHR. Some companies build the training into their pricing while some do not. In those cases, you will have to pay an additional fee.

In addition to the pricing differences, many EHRs have two different forms of training: on-site and web-based. On-site training is when you practice will pay for the EHR technical team to travel to your location and teach you the system. As a practice, you will need to pay for travel expenses and the daily training rate.

An alternative to on-site training is web-based training. This is when you learn the EHR from your office and speak to a technical support specialist that is located elsewhere. This method may be less expensive; however, you do not receive the ‘hands on’ experience that you would receive when speaking to a person face to face.

It is easier for a technical specialist to spot problems when he/she is physically in your office. They are able to better understand your workflow and concerns and can make modifications to their training program.

Make sure to speak with each EHR vendor to determine how they train new EHR users. Find out if there are additional costs and what type of training is required.

    I received recommendations from your site about 8-9 months ago, after answering 160 questions. I actually selected and purchased an EMR software program that your site recommended. I have been completely "live" with it for about 6 weeks and things are going well. It is the perfect program for me.

    After entering my practice parameters into the EMRConsultant.com algorithm I was provided with three choices for an EMR. We had all three provide demonstrations to us and we chose one of those three. What I liked about the program we chose is its versatility and flexibility, which is exactly one of the parameters I put into the algorithm. The EMR vendor has great customer service, and installation and training was almost a breeze. Physician's interested in an EMR without prior knowledge will greatly benefit from their algorithm.

    Your information was very helpful in providing us with a better understanding of the EMR industry, particularly as it relates to ARRA and the HITECH Act. I had no idea there were so many EHR/EMR vendors! We reviewed 10 vendors and selected one of those that you recommended. We are happy with our selection so far. Thank you!

    Working with Dr. Fishman was fantastic. His background as an actual physician EMR user makes his service particularly credible. He has a wealth of experience in health care IT that he generously shares with others. I would highly recommend emrconsultant to any organization looking for an EMR product today.
