Are you Prepared for EMRAM Stage 7?

How do you know if your organization is ready to achieve the HIMSS Analytics EMRAM Stage 7 Award?

From collecting data on your organization and comparing it to EMRAM Stage 7 criteria, to alignment and site readiness preparation, attaining Stage 7 status can be quite the undertaking. With so many factors to consider, less than 5% of hospitals had achieved Stage 7 status by the end of 2016.

Key Considerations for EMRAM Stage 7 criteria:

• Data gathering
• Data gap analysis
• Mock assessments
• Project planning
• Develop tools to assist the organization in managing the requirements and gaps
• Future state workflow development
• Future state workflow training
• Site visit preparation

The HCI Group has prepared a case study for you to begin planning for your Stage 7 status efforts. The study focuses on St. Luke’s University Health Network, which successfully achieved Stage 7 status on 7 hospitals, including the first in New Jersey.
