Electronic health plan touted
Published Friday, October 02, 2009 at 05:28 AM
In response to the growing prevalence of diabetes in rural communities, CBHA used their electronic health records system to better track 1,302 diabetic patients. CBHA monitored whether patients received recommended exams and then provided feedback to health care providers on their performance. Since CBHA’s implementation of the program, the community health center has consistently ranked above the 95th percentile nationally in total medical and dental team productivity.
Approximately 65 million Americans live in communities with shortages of primary care providers and nearly 50 million of those Americans live in rural areas. Health information technology, and specifically electronic health records, can improve care for patients and assist in clinical decision making and the use of evidence-based guidelines. Electronic health records can also decrease administrative hassle, increasing workplace satisfaction and productivity.
