Is Your Office Ready to Go Paperless?

Going paperless is a lot easier than you think! The question is not whether to go paperless or not, it is a matter of WHEN! There are many factors to consider when determining whether your practice will be successful at taking the leap to 100% electronic. There are some important questions to honestly ask yourself to avoid rushing into a bad situation down the line.
Here are a few questions to consider.
Am I primarily interested in getting the incentive money?
Am I primarily interested in going 100% electronic, and the incentives are just a nice bonus?
Do I have the upfront capital to invest in an EHR? Or do I need the Federal incentive money to fund my investment?
Do I have the buy-in from my staff to make the switch? Are they tech savvy?
Would my staff benefit from taking a slower, more measured approach to adding technology piece-by-piece into our practice?
Am I prepared to scan in all my patient folders to include in my EHR and devote staff time for EHR training?
Am I far enough along in the process of selecting an EHR, that I won’t miss the 2011 window to meet the requirements?
