Matt Waldron, MD from Paoli, Indiana Location independent work • “It won’t make you faster and won’t save you money,” he said. Why make the move? “EMR has portability and accessibility. I can read patients’ charts at any office location and log in anywhere I can get Internet access,” Dr. Waldron explained.
At work with EMR Lite • Using Clinical Messaging • Using eRx • Using dragon dictate for office visits • Using forwarding to send reviewed path reports to Surg Ctr • Reporting to registry with BH labs

Indiana, Ohio HIEs reach milestone in clinical data exchange "Coordination of care requires information sharing," said Jim Laughlin, MD, of Southern Indiana Pediatrics. "While many medical practices have systems that can share information internally, the connection between different regions and organizations allows me to track patient results from many labs or specialists. It is only through this kind of information sharing that we can hope to coordinate care in an efficient manner."
Physicians we know… Positives Assertive Productive • Negatives • Assertive • Critical These are the customers of our Primary Care outreach for Meaningful Use Throughout our area…. In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity… Albert Einstein
Integrate physician leaders in meaningful use plans – both inpatient and outpatient
Assessing your EMR • Empty vs. Empowered Medical Record • Receiving results before to upload • Receiving results at start up • Managing ordering • EMR and EMR lite—both are options
Finding the missing parts • Gap analysis • Going thru the full MU list • Defining the missing pieces • Timelining them • Getting help for the hard ones • See MU criteria in clumps instead of individual items
Pushing the vendor • Each EMR practice have invested much in their vendor • Vendors provide service to the practice • Meaningful use achievement relies heavily upon their provisions to the practice • The REC will help identify what to push on • You keep the pressure on, the heat turned up
Staying ahead of the curve • Tri-State wants to give time for change • Start now • Plan the steps • Meet the milestones • Accomplish the goal • Remember change is two part— • Technical change • Personnel change
