Phased EHR Implementation1. Practice Management
(Registration/Scheduling/Billing) and Clinical Results Repository
2. Paperless Telephone Messaging and Prescribing
3. Computerized Physician Order Entry/Documentation/Billing in Exam Room
6 month gap between phases gave time for users to become proficient
