2. Decision Time
• The process of implementing EMR software is different for
every field, and that includes Ob Gyn practices.
• The first step is deciding how to manage the
integration, which could include recording
only new patients or recording
all patients.
3. Merging Methods
• The most difficult task, will be the initial merger of physical
records and your new EHR (Electronic Health Records) system.
• Putting all patients into one system will be worth
it, because it will make information access
and process streamlining easier
in the end.
4. Training Opportunity
• Although merging all of your records into one electronic system
may take several weeks, it is a great training opportunity for
your Ob Gyn staff.
• Every person who loads information into the
system will become more familiar with
it, which equates to more efficient EMR
documentation down the road.
5. Timing is Everything
• To keep up the implementation pace, give your team a goal as
to how much to finish each day and when to complete the
process.
• This will not only keep the end in sight,
but will also create a countdown to
the full move to electronic charting
at your practice.
6. Staff Assignments
• To stay organized during EMR implementation, assign specific
tasks to each staff person.
• For example, if you know RNs are in charge of recording
vitals, LMPS, etc., then you will know who to
go to if you have a question about a
particular entry.
7. Audit for Accuracy
• With all that shuffling, there are bound to be some errors
during data entry, so set up a system for auditing.
• You will need an experienced staff member who
can easily spot errors to be your fact checker
to make sure everything is correct for
the EMR launch.
8. UDS Reporting
• Don’t forget! UDS reporters have specific details to record.
• If your practice participates in UDS
reporting, you will need to be sure the first-
seen trimester, first visit date, and visit
location are electronically recorded.
9. Dual System Considerations
• If you decide to use a dual system, with old records on paper
and new records on EHRs, be sure to use codes and duplicate
data where necessary.
• For instance, allergies should be entered in
both places and important notes entered
into the EMR should be marked on paper
charts as “see EMR” so they aren’t
overlooked.
