New Year's resolution: Dust off that EHR contract to make sure you're as protected as you think
Partner Erin Whaley is quoted in a Healthcare IT News story about the importance of solid electronic health record (“EHR”) contracts. The story highlights what hospitals and other customers should do when switching to a new EHR vendor or renegotiating existing contracts. Whaley is quoted, saying, “What you always should be doing is looking at documentation, relying on common sense and medical judgment, and if they see something that doesn’t look right, question everything.” Whaley continues, “Different vendors have different contracting standards, some are able to limit their liability for any type of breach. That’s something providers should be looking at. Negotiating renewals or a new contract presents an opportunity to get more favorable terms.” |
