As 2021 approaches uncertainty remains a common sentiment in both our work and personal lives. As state and local governments grapple with instability and the prospects of lower budgets it is important that your agency prioritizes and clearly highlights its most pressing needs. Whether your priorities include new technologies or services it is important to purchase in a responsible manner by conducting due diligence to ensure that new vendors are able to provide you superior products and services at a price point that works within your budget.
If your agency has identified healthcare delivery and quality of care as an area for improvement in 2021 then a new electronic health record (EHR) system should be considered. Whether your agency is using a paper health record system or is looking to replace your legacy EHR solution, by partnering with Fusion your agency will save time, money, and allow the healthcare professionals to deliver higher quality healthcare to their patients. Fusion offers a high performance, fully integrated EHR that will increase efficiency and clinical results by streamlining healthcare delivery, increasing reporting capabilities, and speed communication for faster results.
In presenting the merits of a new EHR, be sure to highlight the benefits and potential cost-savings that a system can bring. Some aspects to looks for in an EHR and a vendor are:
- Interoperability with third-party software
- Corrections-specific clinical forms
- Automated workflows
- Increased adherence to national and industry standards
When identifying vendors for a project of this scale, thorough vetting of vendors is important. For best results find vendors who are committed to the correctional industry, have the experience with similar implementations and are dedicated to improving their solution with continual research and development.
Fusion has provided healthcare technology in the correctional industry for nearly 20 years, we are currently managing 300,000 patients in over 250 institutions, and annually invest 25% of our earnings into R&D. We have grown stronger every year in part by investing in our products while working closely with our client base to gather feedback on what features and enhancements will benefit our clients now and in the future. As your agency prepares for 2021, and are planning for any healthcare initiatives, Fusion would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how a partnership between your agency and Fusion will allow you to retain the most experienced and utilized EHR vendor in the correctional industry.
