The Louisiana Academy of Family Physicians and the Louisiana Health Care Quality Forum are co-sponsored an Electronic Health Records Seminar on April 23, 2010, at the Crowne Plaza in Lafayette, LA. The seminar was a huge success with 5.50 CME hours for attendees!!!  

• Requirements to achieve “Meaningful Use” and receive incentive payments
• Vendor selection, including questions to ask and other considerations when choosing a model for your practice
• EHR implementation lessons learned from physicians who have already been through the process
• Other areas of change and consideration when converting your practice to Electronic Health Records including:  IT services, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements surrounding HIT, and practice workflow redesign.  Also discussion of the Regional Extension Center and how it will bring all of these areas under ‘one roof’ to simplify the process for providers.
• The development of the statewide Health Information Exchange (LaHIE)
