EHR University

HSAG Kicks Off "EHR University" for Arizona Physicians Valley-based Health Services Advisory Group (HSAG) has announced the start of EHR University, a comprehensive series of five training sessions designed to help Arizona's primary care physicians adopt electronic health records (EHRs). As the Medicare quality improvement organization (QIO) of Arizona, HSAG is spearheading the state's participation in the national Doctors' Office Quality Information Technology (DOQ-IT) initiative.

Each EHR University training session lasts two hours and is available at convenient evening time slots for busy physicians. Because EHR University is made available at no charge, space is limited to approximately 100 of the eligible 1,460 primary care practices throughout Arizona. Organizations supporting EHR University include the Arizona Medical Association (ArMA), the Arizona Osteopathic Medical Association (AOMA), the Arizona Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the Arizona Chapter of the American College of Physicians (AzACP), the Maricopa County Medical Society, the Pima County Medical Society and the newly created Governor's Arizona Health-e Connection Roadmap Steering Committee.

"There's a lot of activity taking place on national, state and local levels around EHRs. As a physician, I know that doctors need help sorting through all of the available information," said Endsley. "EHRs will soon be an integral part of everyday practice operations. EHR University is designed to help physicians in Arizona prepare for when that day arrives."

Starting February 2006, HSAG will be offering a Learning Session Series on EHR implementation
(2 hour evening sessions include dinner.)

Visit www.azdoqit.org to register for an EHR Learning Session or for more information about DOQ-IT, or call the Arizona DOQ-IT Information Line at 602.308.7197. There is no charge for these sessions.
