Financial Evaluation and Profitability Analysis of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) System Implementation in Healthcare - Page 1 preview imageFinancial Evaluation and Profitability Analysis of Electronic Medical Record(EMR) System Implementation in HealthcareConduct a detailed financial evaluation and profitability analysis for the implementation of anElectronic Medical Record (EMR)system in a healthcare facility, as outlined in the providedanalysis. Your response should cover the following key components:1.Initial Cost Estimate: Break down the various costs involved in implementing the EMRsystem, including software licenses, hardware, implementation costs, and temporaryproductivity loss.2.Annual Benefits: Explain how the implementation of the EMR system leads to costsavings, including chart pulls, transcription costs, adverse drug events, drug utilization,laboratory utilization, radiology utilization, charge capture improvements, billing errors,and administrative expenses.3.Profitability Analysis: Calculate the 5-year return on investment (ROI) for a singleprovider, considering the present value of costs and benefits. Discuss the payback periodand sensitivity analysis results.4.FunctionalVariations:AnalyzetheeffectofdifferentEMRfeaturesets(Light,Medium, and Full EMR) on net benefits.5.Sensitivity Analysis: Interpret the impact of fluctuations in key components, such assoftware licenses, support, hardware costs, and temporary productivity loss, on theoverall project profitability.Ensure your response includes calculations where appropriate, and explain the financial viabilityof the project from the hospital’s perspective.

Financial Evaluation and Profitability Analysis of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) System Implementation in Healthcare - Page 4 preview imageFinancial evaluationThe financial evaluation of the project needs consideration of all these factors whichneeds additional outflow of resources or which may result in saving of cash for the hospital oncethe implementation has been completed. It is usually difficult to get the actual cash cost figuresfrom any organization as first these cost information are confidential and in few cases, it isdifficult for the organizations to calculate the correct figures. Here in my analysis, I tried tocollect the information from different sources, such as the reports of the hospital and the internetresources. I also did the best case estimates in case I am not in a position to get the figures fromany such sources. As the accuracy of the estimate can be challenged, I carried out the sensitivityanalysis and tried to use the extremes.Initial cost estimateInitial cost estimate has been done using the information available on several web sitesand based on the information available fromthe best case estimate. The following table showsquantitative figure, basis as well as the sensitivity range:-Table 1. Costs of Electronic Medical Record System (Per provider in 2013 in US Dollars)Cost ComponentsBasecostSensitivityReferenceSoftware license (annual)$5,355$2700-$11000*Implementation$8,500+*Support, audit and reviews$4,000$2000-$8000*Hardware (refresh every 3 years)$8,000$4000-$16000*Temporary Productivity loss$35,000$18000-$50000+Annual costs$60,855* http://www.emrapproved.com/cost-estimate-tool.php+ 20% in first month, 10% in second month and 5% in third month+* For initial data immigration $5000 and training $3500
