  • Are your physicians and staff more efficient?
  • Is the EHR helping your physicians and staff perform as efficiently as possible?
  • Have you modified your workflows to take full advantage of the EHR product?
  • Is the volume of tasks per physician and staff member overwhelming? Are they receiving tasks they don't need?
  • Are the interfaces for orders and results working properly?
