Overview of EHI Export Tool

EHI Exports have been added to OfficeEMR in compliance with ONC requirements to produce both single patient EHI export and entire patient population EHI export. Access to these exports is based on user roles (permissions), and the computable format we use for these exports is JSON.

The single patient EHI export functionality requires that users  have the ability to export a single patient with the assistance of a software developer. The export must be created in a reasonable time and include all available patient EHI in an electronic and computable format. OfficeEMR users with the appropriate assigned role can do this via the Reports portal EHI Export tool. The export is produced and available to the user for immediate download/save to whatever location or media the practice chooses.

Similarly, all patients export functionality must include all available patient population EHI, be exported in an electronic and computable format, but this EHI export can involve additional action by your EMR vendor. The reason is that exporting large volumes of data involves more time, resources, and expense. OfficeEMR users with the appropriate assigned role can submit requests for an all-patient export via the same Reports portal EHI Export tool. The export is produced and provided to the practice by our Data Export team.

As part of this ONC requirement, we provide this publicly accessible hyperlink which defines the export’s format.

You can review the articles listed below for details on how to perform both export types, and other information related to EHI Exports.
