Link to details of the update Discussion on Pilot Recruitment and EHR Vendor Engagement - The first use case being piloted is Hep C in NYC
- They are having a hard time recruiting clinical sites and EHR vendors
- Members shared ideas to increase participation and potential reasons for lack of engagement
- Ask NYC HIE of the clinical sites/vendors technically advanced
- Provide a document that defines the commitment, the timeline, the goals and the tasks involved in the pilot
- Back end services app is essentially eCR Now, sites using this could leverage the technology. However, there aren't any known sites in NYC using eCR Now.
- The RA goes beyond R4 APIs, it's a heavier lift to implement subscription services.
- Implementers do agree the RA makes sense and the goals of MedMorph but are dealing with competing priorities
- Vendors are working supporting clients meet the regulations and dealing with Covid. There are not enough resources available for low priority projects.
- It may help to have the client prioritize the project.
- Find someone at the clinical setting passionate about the use case to make the project a higher priority.
