Larger Physician Groups Eye Cloud-Based EHRs

In January, the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rolled out a new fee schedule for providers taking care of patients with two or more chronic conditions. Within weeks, Privia Medical Group, a 310-provider multispecialty medical group based in Arlington, Va., had electronic health record (EHR) templates for the documentation and coding requirements as well as a 20-page tutorial with screen shots.

“We are not driving a 4-year-old model car anymore. We are constantly driving the newest and coolest as far as technology goes.”
