Top 10 Reasons to Move to an EHR

Electronic health records are not as widespread in ASC facilities as they are in other healthcare organizations due to the lack of federal incentive for their use.

In this session, we'll explore how an EHR can lessen the burden of quality reporting while helping to ensure patient safety, compliance, profitability, and more.
