EHR issues in Critical Access Hospitals
Implementation of an EHR is an overwhelming task no matter where it is done. However, achieving this task in a critical access hospital (defined as a hospital that provides 24-hour emergency services with less than 25 acute care and swing beds and is more than 35 miles from another hospital) with limited resources is more challenging. A recent study addressing this issue is EHR Implementation Advice to Critical Access Hospitals from Peer Experts and Other Key Informants http://aci.schattauer.de/en/contents/archive/issue/1824/manuscript/20820.html].
