Healthcare providers and patients should be self-assured that the health technology products and systems they utilize are safe, and can assert data confidentiality, work with neighboring systems to share data and perform a set of distinct tasks.
EHR SYSTEM SELECTION AND PROCESS
Conversion from paper to electronic health records can be difficult. It concerns some important steps and downfalls. An institution must be ready to embark on an EHR journey by methodically measuring its current operations and strategies along with future implementations. Knowing where your organization is going is very helpful in choosing an EHR. Naughton-Travers, J. (2013)

From the time you implement the vendor contract, your institution is paying for a system that must generate an expected return. Any interruptions in mission completion will be costly and will eventually put the mission at risk. It is important to fully understand, before EHR selection, all of the fundamentals and related costs needed to execute a successful conversion.
SYSTEM FUNCTINAL MODEL AND STANDARDS The HL7 EHR-S Functional Model describes a regulated model of the functions that may exist in EHR Systems. From the beginning, a clear distinction between the EHR as a singular entity and systems that operate on the EHR. The CCHIT inspects each of its product in functionality, interoperability and security. Functionality, requires ambulant EHR produces to provide every task that a physician needs y to manage every patients care competently and securely “electronically” Interoperability requires ambulant EHR products to use ratified standards to send and receive all forms or medical data that are practical to exchange, as well as be able to support emerging areas of data …show more content…
(2009). “health information processes of providing health data sources, ensuring access, addressing privacy and security concerns, managing quality, and defining health information content, ownership, and other legal issues are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, scientific, complex, and even global” Security requires ambulant EHR products to provide high-tech capabilities needed to keep patient information secure. To be certified, an electronic health record must meet all regulated criteria such as, authentication of users, controlling access based on the operators role of the circumstance of a care situation, examining every access and use of medical records, encryption of information sent out of the system, protection against viruses and the backup of medical data to prevent loss in case of computer crashes.
CONCLUSION
The (ONC) “Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology” has issued the Stage two certification criteria for EHR’s. These criteria require that all certified EHR products maintain information confidentiality, ensure interoperability to share information, and can perform a series of distinct functions. Once an EHR is certified, medical professionals and organizations can feel confident that their system is operative in supporting information technology. Overall, providers and patients should be self-assured that the health information technology products and systems they
