Electronic Health Records (EHRs) EHRs provide physicians with better access to patient information, decision support, reference data, and outcome and chronic care management. EHRs also improve patient-clinician communications and optimize billing and reimbursement. Widespread adoption of EHRs has the potential to produce substantial savings to overall health care costs.
Quality Insights assists participating Pennsylvania physicians in using their EHRs to improve efficiency, quality of care and patient safety. Our RN project coordinators supply expertise to analyze practice needs, redesign systems, and assist with updating or streamlining clinical and administrative processes.
Participating practices utilize their EHRs to improve preventive care for Medicare beneficiaries. Specifically, this project focuses on increasing appropriate rates for:
- Influenza immunizations
- Pneumococcal vaccinations
- Breast cancer screenings
- Colorectal cancer screenings
