From the HRSA website: "Effective use of EHRs is a must for everyone in the safety net community. The main goal of EHRs is improving the quality and safety of patient care. Having one accurate, up-to-date record that includes all of a patient's health information makes it easier for providers and patients to make better decisions."

From the HRSA YouTube Channel:

This webinar focuses on open source Electronic Health Records (EHR) for the safety net community. Open Source EHRs are systems that are either free or very low cost to implement. The presenters will provide an overview of the types of open source systems, the benefits and challenges of using open source EHRs, and how these systems can be used effectively to meet the Meaningful Use requirements and provide high quality care to meet population health needs. In addition, one speaker will present on how his rural federally qualified health center selected the use of RPMS (a free EHR system which was developed by Indian Health Service) to support its clinical services. A second presenter will talk about his health center's selection of Worldvista (Based on the Veterans Administration EHR System) and how it supports UDS reporting requirements. 

The presenters include: Jason Goldwater, M.A., M.P.A., Health IT Program Manager, NORC; Matthew King, M.D., VistAdoc,LLC and former Chief Medical Officer of Clinica Adelanta; Sarah Chouinard, M.D., Clinical Lead
