EHR Usage 

See EHR Licensing for information on obtaining and entering the provider keys and the quarterly keys.  Once that is done, continue here.

(the documentation below is only partially complete)

From the Chart module toolbar, click the EHR button.

The goal for staff is to try to turn as many rows green as possible at each appointment.  If this is done consistently, then meaningful use should be easily met. There is a button at the upper right called Measure Calc that calculates the measurement percentages for all patients.

At the top of this window, it shows the provider for this patient as well as the provider currently logged on.  For most actions, this won't matter.  But Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) requires that a provider be logged in rather than any other staff person.  Also, the Measure Calc button at the right might not be available if the provider currently signed in does not have an EHR key set up in Open Dental.  For reporting purposes, the provider for the patient should be an EHR provider.  If all the patients in the office are assigned to one provider, the other providers can still probably meet MU.  We will post more information on that detail later.
