EHRS Assessment Worksheet (Assignment 2)
Instructions:
This worksheet will be used to assess the current PHMS EHRS system to support transition to
a value-based model and assure appropriate data security and integrity. The worksheet
includes the following components:
assess the purpose and goals of updating the EHRS and HIT requirements to align
with the transition to a value-based model
address usability and interoperability concerns
address data security and integrity concerns
draft a phased implementation plan
This worksheet will form part of the HIT strategy for Paducah Health Medical System that
you will create in the assessment.
Purpose and Goals
1. Analyze the transition from a volume-based to a value-based model. What
EHRS-specific goals should be implemented to support a value-based model?
Consider the domains of safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and
equitable.
