    1. Administrative Processes
    2. Communication & Connectivity
    3. Decision Support
    4. Dentistry/Optometry
    5. Health Information & Data
    6. Order Entry Management
    7. Patient Support, Results Management
    8. Population Health Management.
  2. Research and describe what each of these components do, and why it is important for your facility to incorporate these. How does each affect reimbursement?
  3. Support your position with solid peer reviewed research and make sure any facts in the paper receive in-text citations.
  4. Your memo should be at least two full pages to fully explain to the managers all the various components of the hospital’s new EHR system.
