When EHRs are a-ok.
Electronic health records can enhance a hospital's revenue cycle if the type of EHR that is implemented fulfills these two important functions: Data from the EHR should be easily accessible. The EHR should provide integrated clinical information. To make sure that an EHR system is the right tool for their organization, hospitals should ensure that those who evaluate vendor offerings in this area include a mix of IT professionals, clinicians, and ancillary staff, such as coders and representatives from patient registration and patient financial services.
