EHR Implementation

Practices that sign up for the DOQ-IT project receive assistance at all points along the EHR implementation process. We provide information to practices on everything from workflow analysis to live planning; from vendor selection* to post live evaluation. We collaborate with practices to improve clinical workflow, establish clinical measures, and improve the quality of healthcare provided to their patients.

CCME’s DOQ-IT team will provide practice workflow redesign and EHR adoption assistance in three phases:

Post Implementation
