Looking Ahead
A Lesson from ECM
ECM can be the umbrellaLeverage Content
Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) StandardA common web services
interface to support uniform access across different content repositories
Leverage ERM StandardsLeverage BPM Best
Practices
We are getting there but there is a lot of work aheadStandards need to be set and adopted
EHR should be part of your ECM EnvironmentIncluded as a content/records source
Strong and seamless processes are keyIdentify the on and off ramps of patient records
