Selection of an EMR System for a Healthcare Organization
Description:
This presentation and approach should be viewed as what you (the CEO of the
healthcare organization) would do in practice for the board and executive team of a
healthcare organization- You will define the vision, goals, relative costs, and benefits
of an EMR solution- In addition, you will add special considerations that may need to
be included in the presentation as well as who is part of the process and the
governance that will oversee the decision- This is typically a major expenditu'e for an
organization and would like you to figu'e out the approach you would use-

Scenario:
The organization is a stand-alone medium-sized community health system with a
medical staff of 500 physicians of which 2096 are employed- The organization is
concerned that they have not yet selected an EMR solution and are viewed as
‘behind' in the market- The physician population works at another health system
across town that is implementing an EMR solution and many of the physicians are not
pleased with many of the decisions, including the selection of the system- There is
increased union activity in the area for nu'ses-
