development and implementation of EMR than bringing in a server, data storage device and a bunch of screens and keyboards. Implementing ERM is a huge change for any health care
provider; and requires the various steps necessary when it comes to change management. The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) recommends
a step-by-step process to developing and implementing EMR. These include 1) development an implementation budget; 2) creating a project plan to guide progress; 3) assigning an internal project manager who
handles only the hardware and software oversight; 4) developing a "paper chart" strategy; 5) buying as much training as can be afforded; 6) designating a physician champion (to provide oversight
to the project); 7) developing a project team; 8) studying the workflow; 9) making good hardware decisions and 10) assessing the progress of the project. HIMSS also recommends being patient,
and remembering that implementation of EMR takes time. What methods would be used to monitor EMR implementation? This is where the importance
of the project manager comes in; this person will be responsible for the monitoring of the implementation, from the beginning, when a needs assessment is completed, to the end, when
the system has gone through numerous beta-testings (and tweakings) and goes live. This is why a phased implementation is so important (Miller,
2010). A phased implementation means each section of the project can be tested for accuracy. If something isnt working, then it can be fixed at that particular phase. Each phase
needs to be backed by careful planning and budgeting (as well as monitoring) (Miller, 2010). Why phases? Because there is nothing worse in a project then getting to the end,
