Doctor’s Office Quality – Information Technology
(DOQ-IT)
The Doctor’s Office Quality − Information Technology
(DOQ−IT) program is a project through the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the adoption and
implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in primary
care physician offices. EHRs are pivotal to improvement
in the areas of quality of care, patient safety, decision support,
access to patient information, practice efficiency and patient-clinician
communication.
MPRO is working with participating DOQ-IT physician offices
to:
- Investigate EHR features, functionality and purchasing options
- Receive objective information from experts about EHR selection,
price negotiation and implementation
- Analyze practice needs, readiness to adopt an EHR, how to
maximize the use of an EHR and potential challenges associated
with implementation
- Assess current workflow and craft revised strategies to create
efficiencies and capitalize on the opportunities offered by
an EHR
- Obtain valuable insight and support from peers engaged in
EHR implementation
Recruitment to participate in the DOQ-IT program is closed;
however, physician offices throughout the state continue to implement
EHRs. MPRO has many resources available for all physician
offices interested in EHR adoption and implementation including
vendor demonstrations, e-prescribing, contract negotiation and
links to outside EHR sources, to name a few. If you are interested
in learning more about DOQ-IT, please contact Jackie Rosenblatt,
EHR Clinical Informatics Advisor, at jrosenbl@mpro.org or
