Prevention

- Electronic Health Records

As Iowa's Medicare Quality Improvement Organization, IFMC assists physicians use information technology to improve health care quality and efficiency. Quality Improvement interventions that support health information technology have the potential to improve screening rates through timely notification of providers and patients when an immunization, mammogram or colorectal cancer screening should be scheduled.

IFMC helps participants use their EHR to redesign and/or implement care management and patient self-management for preventive service needs.
