Electronic Medical Record Implementation Process

 

This is your first day on the job as Assistant Director in the HIM department at Rasmussen Medical Center (RMC).  You meet with the HIM Director and she explains that RMC has given her the go-ahead to begin the process of implementing an electronic medical record.  As Assistant Director, you will have responsibility for several phases of this important project.  Your Director knows that while you have earned an RHIT certification, you still need to learn some background before you begin.  You have one week to learn as much as you can about EMR implementation.    

Deliverable 1:  

Explain the EMR(Electronic Medical Record) implementation process and present a three page summary about what you have learned to the HIM Director.  You remember writing formal reports while a student and you plan to follow the APA format used in school.
