The Nebraska Medical Association, through the "2006 Excellence in Practice" Grant Program, is pleased to introduce EHRNebraska, a project designed to help facilitate the adoption of electronic health records by Nebraska physicians, thereby improving patient safety and enhancing quality and efficiency within the health care system.
This project will help physician practices:
- Evaluate their readiness to adopt an electronic medical record;
- Evaluate their current workflow and business processes to identify opportunities to improve these areas for a more successful transition to an electronically based system;
- Learn more about health information technology that enhance systems of medical care.
Participation
Physicians listed in the Nebraska State Licensure database with a licensee address in Nebraska or surrounding states have all been invited to participate in the EHRNebraska Project. Those who returned the initial invitation then received an in-depth survey that allowed the Project Team to gather information necessary to tailor audio/video conferences and town-hall meetings across the State. These hands-on, interactive sessions provide the information, education, and tools necessary for physicians and their practices to evaluate and implement electronic health record systems. Additionally, this Project assists practices that have already implemented an electronic health record system or are in the process of doing so.
We are excited to work with all physicians and practices and strongly encourage everyone to ask any questions and provide feedback through our on-line forums or direct communication with our Team. You may reach us by email at info@EHRNebraska.org. By phone, you may contact the EHRNebraska Project Coodinator, Michelle Stuhr at (402) 770-9875. You can also find more information by going to the menu item entitled "Project Activities".
