Ginn, G. O., Shen, J. J., &
Moseley, C. B. (2011). Hospital financial position and

of electronic health records. Journal of Health Care

56(5), 337–350.

In the United States, adoption of
electronic health records (EHRs) is one of the most prolific discussions at the
healthcare level. Hospitals and organizations that seek to financially invest
in and adopt EHRs can lower medical cost, reduce medical errors, and increase
efficiency of healthcare services rendered by healthcare practitioners. In this
study, the authors examine the role of the financial position of hospitals in
the adoption of EHRs in order to obtain further information regarding barriers
to adoption. Review the questions to ask when critiquing a research study.
Answer the following questions:

1. What were the major reasons the researchers chose this
   method to study this case rather than another study design? What is the
   significance of using the aggregated data from the three major
   organizations (i.e., American Heart Association, Centers for Medicare
   & Medicaid Services, and American Heart Association Annual Survey)?
2. How might you use these findings to persuade your
   executive leaders to adopt EHRs and avoid substantial financial penalties?
3. What conclusions did the researchers reach with regard
   to the utility of EHRs?
4. As a proponent for the adoption of EHRs, what steps
   might you take to propose to executive leaders of your organization to
   adopt EHRs? What factors would you take into consideration as you draft
   your proposal?
5. After reviewing this article, how, as a leader, would
   you make a decision to budget for EHRs?
6. Complete a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
   threats (SWOT) analysis for your proposal.
7. Explore exhibits 1–3 and summarize this information for
   your executive leaders to include the findings in your research.

Present all your work in a 3-page Microsoft Word document. Be sure
to use APA format with in-text citations from scholarly resources.
