ForwardEMR Contracts: FQHC Questions and FTLF Answers
Access the on-demand webinar here.
A health center’s electronic medical record (EMR) system is essential for documenting and coordinating care, tracking and evaluating quality, and communicating internally and externally. Selecting an EMR vendor or changing EMR vendors can be time-consuming, expensive and exhausting… and that’s all before you receive a copy of the contract documents from the EMR vendor.
In this webinar, the presenters will respond to the top questions received from FQHCs about EMR contracts – from figuring out the termination date based on the original contract, addendums, and work orders to negotiating with your current EMR vendor to release data to a new EMR vendor. We’ll explain some of the standard EMR contract terms, describing what they mean and why they matter.
