Chris Brogan’s EHR Story: Documentation and Lab Results

Chris Brogan is an owner and database administrator for a multi-provider internal medicine practice in Merritt Island, FL. Mr. Brogan first heard about the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Programs through his EHR vendor and decided to participate in the programs since he was already using an EHR in the practice. Despite some initial skepticism, Mr. Brogan followed through with registration and attestation and his practice has already received its year one incentive program payment. Mr. Brogan highlights the patient portal, sending lab results and easier documentation as some of the best features of his EHR system and explains how they changed his practice.
