October 12 Noon-time Forum to Discuss Electronic Health Records

October 6, 2022

The MMA will host a physician forum at noon on Wednesday, October 12, titled, “Working with - not against- the Electronic Health Record.” This forum will be held in partnership with the University of Minnesota Medical School. 

The Electronic Health Record (EHR), a defining characteristic of modern healthcare, is a source of stress for many clinicians. There has been substantial progress in recent years with respect to the design, efficiency, usability, and interoperability of the EHR. However, many of these innovations and improvements have not been adopted by clinicians. This forum will engage practicing physician leaders to discuss practical approaches, as well as emerging trends in making the EHR a more effective tool for clinicians and patients alike. 

At the end of this session clinicians will be able to:   

• Describe the current state of provider satisfaction and self-reported efficiency with the electronic health record (EHR)  

• Describe methods to improve provider satisfaction and efficiency, including training and personalization  

• Provide awareness of Epic training resources  

• Motivate and educate providers to make EHR personalizations that improve their own efficiency 

Faculty for the forum include Rebecca Markowitz, MD; Bryan Jarabek, MD, PhD; and Andrew Olson, MD. Mark Rosenberg, MD, will serve as moderator.
