EMR Support Services
AMA has engaged two part-time resources to provide EMR related support to physicians. This support focuses primarily on assisting with resolution of EMR challenges and issues, and provides guidance on privacy questions.
Although the support will be limited at this time, AMA feels that member advocacy in this area is needed as technology matures, and expectations for value from the EMR increase.

What's in this section for you?
Implementing or changing EMRs
The information in this package can guide you as you select, implement and use your new EMR.
EMR Integration Table
eDelivery of results and integration with all provincial assets are critical for your clinic. While there are multiple EMRs available to Alberta clinics, this table is intended to provide foundational information on those EMRs currently integrated with provincial assets. Choosing an EMR is a complex process. This information is only a starting point for the full assessment and selection of an EMR.
Clinic Business Continuity Plan Guidelines
Are you ready for a rainy day? Protect your clinic with a working business continuity plan (BCP). A BCP can help your clinic prepare for sudden events such as an EMR outage or last year’s devastating floods in southern Alberta.
