title: Accelerating the ROI of EHRs.
abstract: Three key strategies can enable an organization to achieve the greatest possible value from electronic health records (EHRs): Meaningful use should be combined with a value realization strategy to ensure that the EHR does more than automate the paper record. Healthcare leaders should work to align IT tools with new business models, care delivery frameworks, and operating processes. Business and clinical goals and desired benefits should drive EHR value realization.
