HIMSS ANALYTICS’ ELECTRONIC MEDICAL
RECORD ADOPTION MODEL (EMRAM)^SM AWARDS

Since 2005, HIMSS Analytics' EMR Adoption ModelSM (EMRAM) has tracked the adoption of EMR applications within hospitals and health systems. Institutions work to complete the 8 stages (0 - 7), with the goal of reaching Stage 7: an environment where paper charts are no longer used. HIMSS Analytics Asia Pacific EMRAM Awards 2015 recipients will be recognised and honoured at the HIMSS AsiaPac15 Conference.

Asia Pacific Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM)^SM

Free to all providers, EMRAM scores may be obtained through participation in the HIMSS Analytics Asia Pacific Annual Study. Once you have your EMRAM score, you can:

• Begin to meet application requirements and become operational stage by stage, working toward the final level, Stage 7

• Compare your progress with other organisations, and also across departments within your organisation

• Align IT initiatives with your overall business strategy and shape strategy for future IT investments

The Pinnacle Achievement

Providers who have reached Stage 7 are recognised for having achieved all the steps necessary towards a paperless environment. They have a very real competitive and quality advantage, as they support the true sharing, information exchange and immediate delivery of patient data to improve process performance, quality of care and patient safety.

To be eligible for the Stage 7 Award, hospitals must first participate in the HIMSS Analytics Asia Pacific Annual Study in order to receive their EMRAM score. This study collects detailed HIT data and tracks the implementation and adoption of EMR applications through each stage of the EMR Adoption Model. Validation of Stage 6 is completed with a phone interview. Final evaluation of Stage 7 status is conducted via an on-site visit.
