A national repository of EMR benefits data is needed to help stakeholders make more informed decisions about EMR implementation and to facilitate monitoring and corrective redesign of existing EMR implementations. A framework for reporting data should be developed that will enable meaningful comparisons, provide uniform benefit categories and standardized methods of measurement and evaluation.[1]
The authors suggest such a framework should have features similar to the one piloted by the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Clinical Information System (CIS) Benefits Task Force:
- Demographic information about the organization
- Measures to describe technology infrastructure
- Measures of technology use by healthcare professionals
- Consistent EMR benefit categories for each EMR subsystem
- Uniform quantitative metrics for all data collected
- Web-based data collection and reporting tools
