Abstract: Context: Sub-specialists such as cardiologists have unique considerations when selecting and using
electronic health records (EHRs).
Aim: We sought to identify key factors and considerations during system selection and implementation for
the subspecialist.
Case Study: Insights from system selection and implementation for a start-up plastic surgery private
practice were used to inform a broader set of principles for subspecialists in private practice selecting and
using EHRs.
What can be learned: The nature of the provider-patient relationship is episodic and such as maintaining
inventory, managing images, annotating images, documenting and billing in-office procedures, and
integration of cash-based and insurance payment.
Conclusion: Procedure-based physicians in private practice and as part of larger institutions can use insights
from this case study to inform their own efforts in system selection and optimization for ongoing use.Keywords: Health information systems, electronic health records, organization and administration, medical record, practice management, ambulatory care
