ONC is holding a 1-day workshop focused on the use of clinical documentation—as captured by EHRs—in legal, payment, and oversight contexts. The workshop will bring together panels of experts to discuss the current landscape around how EHRs have been used as a record in the legal environment and for purposes such as medical documentation, claims support, audit trail records, and fraud identification.

In this call, we will hear from several individuals on topics including Oregon’s EDIE metric, ED diversion programs and innovative best practices for educating and navigating patients through the system.
