Select all that apply.
A) "The record reduces the cost of health care."
B) "The record allows trending of client progress."
C) "Client education is to be documented in the system."
D) "Quality metrics can be observed to reduce readmission rates."
E) "Coordination of care is improved."
Answer: B, C, D, E
Electronic health records can assist the case manager by allowing trending of client progress, documentation of client education, and observation of quality metrics to help decrease readmission rates. Electronic health records also allow improved coordination of care between providers because they are all working off one chart. The use of the electronic health record does not directly reduce the cost of health care.
