Electronic Medical Records/Health Information Technology
HRSA’s Office of Health Information Technology (OHIT) has developed Electronic Health Records (EHR) Selection Guidelines to assist health centers evaluate EHR products and develop requests for proposals (RFP) or requests for information (RFI).  The Guidelines are customized for health centers and were developed in consultation with IT staffers and clinicians from health centers.

 The Guidelines provide the following types of assistance:
§         Allow health centers to gather detailed information from vendors as they consider EHR products;
§         Can be used by health centers to specify EHR needs to vendors as part of an RFP 
§         Can be used to evaluate vendor proposals and products to make informed purchasing decisions
§         Represent a relatively comprehensive list of features for evaluation of EHR products but can be added to or subtracted from to make sure the EHR you select meets your needs 
 
HRSA recognizes that health information technology is an evolving field, and new standards are constantly being added.  As a result, the EHR Selection Guidelines will continue to evolve based on market trends and demand.  To access the document, please follow the link to http://www.hrsa.gov/healthit/.  If you have any questions or comments about this resource, please contact Anthony Achampong at aachampong@hrsa.gov.
 
We also invite you and the health centers in your State to take advantage of the other HRSA resources outlined below that can be used alongside the EHR Selection Guidelines.
1.  National Leadership Series Presentations-  There have been several National Leadership Series presentations that were focused on organizational planning for purchasing and implementing an Electronic Health Record and can be found at http://www.healthdisparities.net/hdc/html/library.search.aspx?search=EHR  
2.   HRSA HIT Community Portal-  HRSA’s OHIT has developed a HRSA Health IT Community as a tool/resource center for health centers that serves as a virtual community for health centers, networks and PCAs to collaborate around the adoption of technologies promoting patient safety and higher quality of care.  The goal is to facilitate collaboration among health centers via discussion forums where health centers facing similar challenges can share thoughts and lessons from experiences with a variety of IT systems and scenarios.  If you have not joined, please email Christie Brown at Christie.brown@hrsa.hhs.gov to receive a login ID.
