The electronic health record system (EHR) that I use in the pediatric clinic is called Office Ally. Office Ally helps providers to achieve Meaningful Use. It is a secured website for providers and patients.
The overall strength of the core functionalities in this pediatric EHR system is that it tracks the patients’ allergies, medications, laboratory and radiology results, clinical alerts, national drug code (NDC) list, and submits electronic prescriptions and referrals. Office Ally is user-friendly and takes about one day to get familiar with as a provider. The limitation of this EHR system is that it does not monitor growth and development (https://cms.officeally.com/Pages/Products/PatientAlly.aspx).
The IT system promotes safety and improves patient outcomes through the incentive program Meaningful Use offered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (https://www.cms.gov/regulations-and-guidance/legislation/ehrincentiveprograms). The provider must close all charts within 24 hours from the day the patients are seen to meet the incentive program (https://cms.officeally.com/Pages/Products/PatientAlly.aspx)
.
The objective of the meaningful use is to improve quality, safety, and efficiency, reduce health disparities, engage patients and families, improve care coordination and population and public health, and maintain the privacy and security of patient health information (https://www.healthit.gov/topic/meaningful-use-and-macra/meaningful-use).
In 2011, CMS established the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs (now known as the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program) to encourage EPs, eligible hospitals, and CAHs to adopt, implement, upgrade, and demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health record technology (CEHRT) (https://cms.officeally.com/Pages/Products/PatientAlly.aspx)
Electronic Health Record (EHR) adoption rates for office-based physicians has increased between 2008 and 2015, from 42% to 89%, and more than 60% of all office-based physicians achieved meaningful use by 2016 (Alammari et al., 2021).
