As someone living in the dark ages of paper charting and desperately wanting to move to an EHR for employee health records, does anyone have suggestions or comments
on specific EHRs? I appreciate any and all suggestions or feedbacks. I know there’s not one perfect system out there, but anything is better than paper.

Good morning Charlie.
We converted to EHR more than 15 years ago and are on our 3rd brand. None were compatible with occupational medicine outside of injury care. We
scanned all OSHA Standard records into the EHR and continue to do this as our system is not compatible with non-E&M services. Injury care visits from before implementation were scanned and now are part of the EHR. We also use OHM in parallel with our general
EHR for internal employee health and for a few outside companies for things like hearing conservation and respiratory protection.
As it stands, all occupational medicine records are available with varying degrees of difficulty.
Good luck,
Doug

We are converting our employee health records to an EMR from paper.
We are having discussions about what portion of our paper record must be retained because of OSHA.
Does anyone have guidance or a reference about what must be kept and what could be tossed?
We have a plan for inputting vaccination records etc and will be keeping records pertaining to OSHA record keeping
Some of the paper charts are enormous.
Thank you in advance.
