Health IT Webinar Series
Leveraging EHR to Improve Bottom Line Performance

A webinar for those ready to take the next step in their health IT journey
In order to reap the benefits of electronic health record (EHR) implementation, physicians and clinicians must fully embrace technology. Developing an IT strategy that is geared to enhance clinical, financial and operational outcomes will determine its true effectiveness. In the long run, achieving return on investment (ROI) will outweigh the initial investment of EHR adoption if the right measures are in place. This presentation, taught by expert faculty Jeffery Daigrepont, senior vice president of the Coker Group, will review successful EHR implementation processes that will drive improvements in maintaining and increasing positive ROI, as well as provide helpful information to optimize your technology investment decisions.

Participants of this session will learn how to:

• Review the benefits of EHR adoption
• Determine how to maximize technology to yield results
• Learn how to educate others in the practice on their roles in successful EHR implementation
• Apply metrics to analyze EHR ROI
