Challenges

Complicated EHR workflows can impede patient data quality

The clinical workflows designed to document and manage clinical patient data can be disjointed and unnecessarily complex, inhibiting providers from delivering the best possible care.

These workflow challenges also affect data quality, with real downstream impacts on billing, reimbursement, quality reporting, and population health initiatives.
