Physician practice check-up. Assessing a practice's readiness for electronic health records.

Full Abstract

Federal incentives will take some of the pain out of transitioning a practice to an electronic health record system, but the transformation will be monumental, nonetheless. For practices that take the leap, focusing initial efforts on a readiness assessment lays a solid foundation for later success.
