Hospital Electronic Health Records:
State of Adoption, Challenges and Moving Forward

- Learn where hospitals are along the technology adoption curve and understand how hospital characteristics influence adoption.
- Review common barriers and facilitators to EHR adoption.
- Gain insight from a health care system executive involved in implementing a comprehensive EHR program.
- Learn how this system developed their plan, including the pleasant and unpleasant surprises along the way.
- Gain insight into current practices to improve upon and expand the program.
