title: The CFO's role in implementing EHR systems.
abstract: Tampa Bay-based BayCare Health System recommends the following actions CFOs can take to guide implementation of an EHR system: Become actively involved in the EHR implementation strategy and project management. Help the organization understand that EHR systems require not just a change in the organization's core clinical system, but also its core revenue system. Monitor revenue by department in the weeks and months after go-live, and move quickly to evaluate unanticipated changes in revenue.
