EHR

Background
In an effort to move the entire U.S. health industry to electronic records, the U.S. government has established incentive programs to encourage the implementation of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. The certified EHR software contains certified reports that allow hospitals and clinics to report statistical measures to prove compliance.

Assist with Meaningful Use Attestation
Administrators are required to attest to the Meaningful Use (MU) data from their certified EHR reports. Occasionally report results need further analysis before the administrator can feel comfortable about an improvement plan or attesting. Crystal Certified can assist:

• If you are uncertain about a total or specific data point, we can assist in drilling into that dataset and provide details
• If you see a percentage that needs improvement to qualify for incentives, we can provide details about the percentage so changes can be pinpointed and results improved
• If the certified EHR reports draw data from areas within the EHR system that are different than what your internal processes uses, Crystal Certified can customize the certified EHR reports to be accurate for your organization.

Develop Quality Measures Reporting
Using EHR data and other data sources, we can develop customized reports so your staff can quickly and accurately report your Quality Measures (QM). These reports are customized to your organization’s processes and procedures.

Whether for the Minnesota Community Measurement organization, the Physician Quality Reporting System or other quality agency, automated quality reports can be more accurate and provide hours of time savings for the staff who prepare manual reports. Staff can redirect their attention to problem solving instead of data manipulation.

No matter the health system you are using, we can assist with the report development and analysis, streamline processes, implement exception reporting and allow administrators to fully utilize their EHR systems. We look forward to working with you.
