Like all US hospitals, small hospitals are financially incentivized to implement electronic health records systems on a schedule consistent with federal Meaningful Use timelines. They also have the same challenges as larger hospitals systems with respect to clinician adoption, specialty-specific workflow alterations, effective project governance, and change management - among many others.
Over 45% of US hospitals have less than 100 beds, and more than 20% have less than 200 beds. Yet these smaller hospitals have often had the same extremely costly consulting entities available to them for help in EHR implementing strategies as are available to larger healthcare systems.
CIH offers affordable in-depth expertise, provided by physician and nurse informaticists who have led successful EHR implementation projects at hospital systems of all sizes, and thorough vendor market intelligence based on many years of experience in the healthcare industry sector.
