Getting ready for EHR, RHIOs and next-generation co-management agreements.

چکیده
The infusion of federal money into a planned nationwide electronic health record (EHR) system gives one a perfect reason to become more active in planning for the near-term changes, and opportunities, in your region’s health care marketplace. The drive toward a “medical information highway” by 2014 will provide ways for medical practices to upgrade their electronic health records, and, more importantly, give you the motivation to plan how best to integrate your practice into the enhanced information-sharing network that EHR will create. The EHR incentive will be accompanied by federal and private payer financial incentives for integrated practice management to reduce medical errors and costs and improve efficiencies. Medical practices with a vision to become market leaders in working together will likely thrive in this atmosphere. The medical information highway coupled with next generation co-management agreements will allow innovative hospital and physician leaders to come together for a dual purpose—to provide comprehensive health care and the greatest value to the community and the patient, and to create new income streams. Many hospitals and physician practices have participated in co-management agreements to manage a service line in a specific hospital. This is a good start but does not go far enough in part because such agreements aren’t integrated into the coming medical information highway. The next generation co-management leaders will have the vision to go beyond silos of care and provide a continuum of care of evidence-based best practices and allows for real time dissemination of protected health information for the provider and the patient.
