Seven ways to get the most of an EHR are:
1. Include the nursing staff.
2. Schedule more training specific to process.
3. Anticipate the stress and effort required over several months.
4. Round on everyone in the practice using the system just as you’d round on your patients in the hospital.
5. Personalize and recognize the differences among physicians.
6. Get your EHR-integrated patient portal up and running with interactive services for your patients.
7. Stick with it and don’t give up easily.
