Due diligence for EHR- Ask questions! • Does the system use the codes and terminologies that are frequently used in your specialty? • Can the system handle multiple physicians and/or offices? • Where is the data stored? On servers in your office or is it offered as a cloud service? Does the system safeguard information in compliance with HIPAA? • How can you access the information? On a computer only or can you use notepads or a blackberry? • Does the EHR system manage other patient information such as test results, x-rays • What are the costs? The maintenance costs? • Is the software CCHIT certified?
