Electronic Health Record (EHR) as defined by HIMSS 

The Academy/AAOE recognizes the transition to Electronic Health Records represents a major financial and cultural change for practices. This site is offered as an Academy/AAOE member benefit to help you through the selection and implementation process and to keep you up to date on the ARRA incentive program which provides up to a $44,000 incentive to “meaningful users” of certified electronic health record (EHR) technology.

The site is divided into the following sections:

 Section 1:  Planning and Selection
 Section 2:  Preparing to Go Live
 Section 3:  Post Implementation Evaluation
 Section 4:  ARRA Incentive Program
 Section 5:  Compliance

 
We hope you find the information helpful as you navigate the migration to EHR. Should you have any questions or suggestions, please e-mail aaoe@aao.org.
