Specifications include, but are not limited to: As part of its EHR Implementation Project, TCMHS is releasing this RFI to begin its search for a new EHR. This system will be inclusive of electronic health records, practice management, and revenue cycle management. TCMHS is seeking information from vendors with fully integrated systems through which care coordination efforts can be maximized and quality improvement efforts can be driven. The chosen EHR will be implemented to include all services at TCMHS. The implementation will be done site-wide in order to minimize disruption to normal clinic operation. The chosen EHR must provide features and functions to help facilitate both the attainment of CMS Meaningful Use Attestation (Stages 1-3) and the fulfillment of NYSCRI documentation standards. The EHR must also provide functions and features that facilitate the secure sharing of information between TCMHS EHR users within the EHR, between the TCMHS EHR and external systems (e.g. via HL7 interfaces to be completed in future projects). These features and functions must be present and usable in the initial EHR implementation, and should not require significant hardware, software, or program development. An EHR that demonstrates attention to usability, as opposed to only utility, will be given preference, as will an EHR that offers the flexibility to achieve future HL7 interface and care integration goals.
