Develop a Proposal for an EHR

You work for a large city hospital. In this hospital, there are:

• two primary care outpatient clinics (pediatrics and adult)
• four specialty clinics (orthopedics, neurology, psychiatry, and ophthalmology)
• 300 inpatient beds
• an in-house laboratory
• a radiology department
• a pharmacy

The hospital medical record consists of paper charts. The hospital wants to implement an EHR, and it is your job to develop a proposal to present to the hospital board.

Your proposal should cover the following:

1. Type of EHR (Turnkey or Best of Breed) and why, 1 page.
2. Functions the EHR will have and why, 1 pages.
3. Benefits that will be expected from implementation of this EHR proposal, 2 pages.
