Competency VI.7
A new pediatric group, Elmhurst Pediatric Group, has been formed

local hospital has reached out to the group offering participation
in their electronic health record (EHR). The proposal states that
the pediatric group will pay 15 percent of the hospital's costs
related to the services. This seems like a good arrangement since
investing in an EHR independently will require a significant

and find out that the EHR is certified and interoperable. You are
told that BigPharmRX is the only e-prescribing application that is
permitted to be used with the EHR, but the EHR can be used for all
payers. Your primary concern is that there would be a referral
quota that the group would need to meet in order to secure this
arrangement. However, you were assured that there are no referral
strings tied to the arrangement You are unsure if this proposal
will comply with the EHR safe harbors.
Create a memo for the management team with your findings, providing supported opinion ions on whether or not the proposal complies with EHR safe harbor mandates. If you determine the proposal does not meet the requirements, what aspect(s) could be modified to achieve compliance?
