Washington — The Ohio State Medical Assn. plans to launch a campaign on Jan. 1 recognizing electronic medical record vendors that use language vetted by the association for simplicity.
“Doctors were concerned one of the barriers to adopting EMRs was the whole contracting process. Small practices don’t have access to anyone who can help them pick one,” said OSMA Senior Director Carol Wright Mullinax. “So we make vendor contracts more physician friendly.”
