Plan Guidelines: The plan needs to identify the main steps from beginning to end, and then provide specific measurable goals for each step.  Each step of the plan needs to include: a title, the specifics of the step, who will participate in the step, and the recommended result of the step.  In addition, include the following in the EMR plan:

Time to research and test possible EMR packages
Plan for financing or purchasing the product
Steps for installation, training, and transition from paper to electronic records
Plans for the physicians and staff to gradually adapt to the system
