Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM)

The HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM) was created to track healthcare organisations' progress towards achieving a paperfree environment.

The eight-stage (0 – 7) maturity model measures the adoption and utilisation of EMR functions required to achieve a paperless environment that harnesses technology to support optimised patient care.

The model allows you to track your progress against other healthcare organisations around Europe and across the world.
