The Ficus Consulting Group is focused on providing reliable services and support to providers who are considering or already utilizing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) application. We guide individuals or group practices in selecting and implementing an EHR systems. Our services are tailored to each organization’s unique and specific needs in order to overcome the challenges that can arise during
the EHR selection and implementation process. Our goal is simple – to ensure superior client satisfaction during every step along the way to a successful EHR adoption. The federal government has established new incentives for healthcare providers that implement and meaningfully use a federally compliant EHR application. The federal government has also established penalties for those who do not. There are more than 300 EHR applications marketed to healthcare providers, some of which do not even have the required functionality to allow healthcare providers to meet the new governmental standards. Making a mistake in the selection and implementation of an EHR application can be devastating to a practice’s overall productivity and profitability. The failure to understand how a practice’s workflow integrates with the EHR application it selects is a common occurrence that adversely impacts the practice’s ability to obtain the critical buy-in of providers and support staff.
• Our consultants conduct an in-depth assessment of our client’s clinical workflow and billing workflow to help a practice select an EHR application that meets its specific needs.
• Once an EHR application is implemented, we conduct a gap analysis with respect to user knowledge of the EHR application and customize a training curriculum that will ensure healthcare providers become meaningful users of the selected EHR application.
