Scenario

In this assignment, you will analyze administrative, clinical, management, and decision-support information technology tools within electronic health record (EHR) systems.

You will select an EHR system within your current workplace or the Vila Health simulated healthcare organization. You will then create a PowerPoint presentation, without a recording, consisting of 8–10 slides that analyze the selected EHR system's components and its impact on quality outcomes. The presentation should provide an overview of the chosen EHR system, its purpose, benefits, and limitations. Additionally, you will discuss how the selected EHR system can be effectively integrated into a health information system to improve efficiency and enhance patient care.
