  EMR and HIPAA — Authority: 424
  I’ve previously written about chart disposal after an EMR implementation and the concept of “ thinning your paper chart for scanning into an EMR .” Because of those posts, one reader asked me about feedback on a list of what things should be included in the “thinned” paper chart.

• Comparison of CCR and CCD

  
  EMR and HIPAA — Authority: 424
  In response to my previous post about CCR and CCD , I’ve learned a whole bunch about the two different standards for healthcare data exchange.

• CCD vs. CCR and Part of MU

  
  EMR and HIPAA — Authority: 424
  I’ve been a fan of the concept of CCR since it first started many years ago . However, I’ll be honest that I haven’t followed the progression of CCR much since then. I know that Google Health was using a modified version of CCR. I also know a number of EMR vendors that have integrated CCR with their EMR. ...

• Penguin Problem in EMR Adoption

  
  EMR and HIPAA — Authority: 424
  Vince Kuraitis opened my eyes to a new term called the “Penguin Problem” and applying it to EMR adoption. Here’s the principle: Economists call it “The Penguin Problem” — No one moves unless everyone moves, so no one moves. Considering our paltry 15% or so EMR adoption rate, it seems like this is an ...

• ONC’s Guidance for EHR Certification Bodies

  
  EMR and HIPAA — Authority: 424
  I’ve long been a proponent of having multiple EHR certification bodies. Competition does amazing things for a system and having one certification body would be a horrible thing for the EMR world. Certainly we all know that CCHIT is going to be there as an EHR certification body. The question is whether anyone is ...

  EMR and HIPAA — Authority: 424

  EMR and HIPAA — Authority: 424
  I quoted this CIO in my previous post about EMR Motivations , but I also thought that Neal Ganguly provided some interesting analysis of the time frames involved with selecting, implementing and using an EMR.
