Describe the use of electronic health records in patient care.

Instructions:

This week you research the history and continuing evolution of electronic health records (EHRs). One way to learn something is to teach that concept to someone else. For this Assignment, you will design and construct a Microsoft PowerPoint® presentation that will be presented in a training session for new HIT students coming into your facility. The presentation should discuss the history and evaluate the importance of EHR implementation; highlighting the past, present, and future. Be sure to include information on federal initiatives and laws that have helped in the progression toward health information exchange. Please include the following topics in your presentation:

- Importance of EHR and health information exchange in health care

- EHR implementation highlighting past

- EHR implementation highlighting present

- EHR implementation highlighting future

- Information on federal initiatives and laws that have helped in the progression toward health information exchange.
