EHR Adoption, Health Info Mgmt & Lessons from Across the Border

Spark Healthcare Finance Management Conference

In 2009, the US passed the HITECH Act, leading to a 9-fold increase in EHR system adoption at acute care hospitals. With this adoption, U.S. hospitals also unlocked innovations in the back-office and operational processes of healthcare. Over the last few years, Canadian hospitals have seen similar jumps in EHR adoption with new opportunities presented to evolve operational processes. This session will discuss how the rise of EMRs and the introduction of ICD-10 led to computer-assisted coding use in the US and how Canadian hospitals can leapfrog from this trend to introduce AI efficiencies in their own HIM departments to optimize funding.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
