EHR Implementation: A Step By Step Guide for the Medical Practice

Carolyn P. Hartley, Ed Jones, Foreword by Newt Gingrich

The authors have visited more than 50 physician offices to learn what has worked and what hasn't worked with the electronic health records (EHR). The authors participated in vendor demonstrations and EHR implementation and training sessions to provide physician-readers with a real-world guide. It is intended to help physicians evaluate their office's workflow in order to properly select the EHR system that meets the needs of the practice. Another purpose is to provide a logical, well defined selection process supported by a well defined implementation process for the medical practice's EHR. (From Doody Review Services).

Book of the Month

The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Drawing on his own incarceration and exile, as well as on evidence from more than 200 fellow prisoners and Soviet archives, Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn reveals the  entire apparatus of Soviet repression the state within the state that ruled  all-powerfully. Through truly Shakespearean portraits of its victims: men, women, and children, we encounter secret police operations, labor camps and prisons; the uprooting or extermination of whole populations, the -welcome- that awaited Russian soldiers  who had been German prisoners of war. Yet we also witness the astounding moral courage of the incorruptible, who, defenseless, endured great brutality and degradation.(From Publisher)
