2019 August Bulletin: EHR Risks and Benefits

,  //  No Comments

In 2012, OMIC dedicated an entire edition of the OMIC Risk Management Digest to the use of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. Since that time EHRs are now commonplace. The concerns about how their use may affect patient safety, and ultimately, medical professional liability, remain relevant today.

EHRs are used extensively, offering comprehensive assistance to practices, and go far beyond the scope of an electronic medical record. EHRs offer invaluable tools for practice management (administration), reporting (for internal use and to external parties), coding (for billing/patient care reimbursement), and document imaging.

OMIC would like to remind you of the importance of developing EHR guidelines for your practice. The following resources continue to provide a practical guide on assessing EHR risk exposure and developing a plan to reduce the risk of a claim.

Six reasons OMIC is the best choice for ophthalmologists in America.

Consistent return of premium.

Publicly-traded insurance companies exist to make profits for shareholders while physician-owned carriers often return profits to their policyholders. Don’t underestimate this benefit; it can add up to tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your career. OMIC has one of the most generous dividend programs for ophthalmologists and has returned more than $90 Million to our members through dividends.
