Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Roy Huggins, your co-hosts of Person Centered Tech.

In our latest episode, we’re talking about choosing an EHR system and the information blocking (“Open Notes”) rule.

We discuss how information blocking and HIPAA are different, which systems are covered by the new rule, how to know if switching systems makes sense, what the new rule enforces and what it doesn’t, coming cultural shifts in the way we use healthcare services, the different types of EHRs, training + supporting your team’s documentation, worldwide shifts in healthcare privacy, the nuances of psychotherapy notes vs. other healthcare notes, the future of personal health records, charging for releasing records, getting info from your current practice management system on their plans for the future, implications for prescribers, and our free CE event on this topic where you can learn more.
