Health information system

I wish I would have had this class about 5 years ago.  It would have really been helpful as we prepared to implement our EMR system in our office. Some of the power point presentations were very well done and would have been good to have. One thing I would like to stress about selecting and EMR or being evolved in the process is that you have to first, know what you want, and second voice that opinion. As an end user, you are the one that is going to spend a significant amount of time interfacing with the EMR and is is very importing that you select one that you can live with.  Ask if you can be on a steering committee or help with the research portion of the process.  These efforts in time will pay you back repeatedly.

This is Me!

Hi my name is Ryan Church I am an FNP-C and am currently enrolled in the MSN-DNP program.  I have loved nursing and nursing has been very good to me.  I have been working as a NP now for 7 years.  I have spent the majority of my time in spine related areas.  The first 2 years I was in pain management and the last 5 years in spine surgery.  It has been and exciting experience. 

In my clinical setting we use an EMR, we have no paper charts at all.  This has had it pluses and minuses. Mostly it has been a good experience. We use an instant message service in the office to communicate and we have an office website that is currently under re-construction.  We do receive emails from patients and family through the web site via email but this is limited.

I have learned a great deal already and have enjoyed getting acquainted with more technological tools.  I look forward to reading your posts and having you help teach me......See ya soon....
