51 Conclusions EHRs are becoming standard part of medicine Implementation Incentives and potential penalties for lack of implementation Many provider concerns for possible negative impact of EHRs Lack of research on EHRs in ophthalmology Even fewer looking at impact on clinics
52 Conclusions Our Study: No significant decrease in efficiency or productivity with implementation of our EHR Individual user dependent Provides practical assessment for EHR impact: Technicians and Providers Encounter times Daily clinic revenue changes Possible modifications of billing practices
53 Conclusions We hope that our paper presents valid measures to assess the true impact of EHR implementation of clinic efficiency and to encourage future studies which objectively and accurately evaluate the impact of electronic health records on clinical practice.
