electronic health recordsHIT Toolkit for Family Physicians

The Louisiana Academy of Family Physicians (LAFP) and the LHIT Resource Center (LHIT) worked together to develop a comprehensive toolkit to help guide physicians through the process of adopting an electronic health record (EHR) and achieving Meaningful Use.  The E-Louisiana HIT Toolkit is available to all members of the LAFP and LHIT courtesy of a grant awarded by the Physicians Foundation.

Whether starting with a paper-based system or looking to optimize your current EHR to qualify for the federal incentives, the Louisiana REC can help you fully realize the benefits of electronic health records in improving efficiencies and patient care.
