Joanne S. Byers, M.D. EHR Champion On Population Health, Joanne Knows Better You may think population health management are three big words that sound a bit impersonal. However, those big words mean care gets better, not just for one person, but for many. At Premier, doctors are able to evaluate and improve care in real time with how we choose to use electronic health record technology. Premier doctors are able to input, access and manage valuable health details across many patient categories (age, gender, condition, medication, chronic illness, etc.). Dr. Joanne Byers, a leader in implementing electronic health records at Premier, explains “When you have electronic health data for large groups of patients, the care can be consistently evaluated and adjustments made. The ongoing result is improved quality and improved health for our patients.” Better Information. Better Management. Better Care.
