The University of Miami Health System (UHealth) has been recognized by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Analytics for reaching Stage 6 on the Ambulatory Electronic Medical Record Adoption ModelSM (A-EMRAM). EMRAM is a methodology for evaluating the progress and impact of electronic medical record (EMR) systems for ambulatory facilities in the HIMSS AnalyticsTM database.

 

A Stage 6 designation by HIMSS Analytics indicates that an ambulatory facility has almost fully automated/paperless medical records that are available across most of the outpatient care settings. Among other qualifications, the facility must have achieved significant advancement in its IT capabilities, and is either starting to evaluate its data for care delivery process improvements or has already documented significant improvements in this area.
