Health information technology (health IT) makes it possible for health care providers to better manage patient care through secure use and sharing of health information. Health IT includes the use of electronic health records (EHRs) instead of paper medical records to maintain people’s health information. Share the EHR platform that your practice uses and discuss the challenges and barriers to electronic charting. Why have we moved from paper charting to EHR’s? What is meant by meaningful use regulations and why is this important to know when documenting in the EHR? Please support your work with at least three evidence based practice resources that are less than 5 years old. Written Paper (Microsoft Word doc): minimum 2000 words using 6th edition APA formatting

Write a paper that answers the following questions in paragraph format: 1. Describe your experience with the Web-based EHR. 2. What set of standards would apply to the Web-based EHR in acute or ambulatory care settings? Your response should be based on what you know about standards and regulations for EHRs or electronic information systems. 3. Discuss the possible challenges one would face to convince healthcare providers to use this type of EHR. 4. What features did you see in the EHR that were helpful? How could other facilities benefit from these features? 5. What impressed you about the Web-based EHR?
