For 20 years, the US healthcare system has pursued universal electronic health record (EHR) adoption and interoperability. Contraception has been overlooked in these efforts--and it’s time to change that. Integrating basic contraceptive care workflows into all EHRs could: 1. Remind care teams to offer contraceptive care routinely 2. Improve patient access to contraceptive services 3. Provide accurate data on screening, counseling, and method use 4. Facilitate electronic reporting to stakeholders 5. Enable easier participation in quality initiatives In short: standardizing contraceptive care in EHRs is crucial for comprehensive healthcare interoperability. We’re thrilled to see Emily Jones Decker, Upstream’s MEL Director, and Emily Eckert, Upstream’s Associate Director of Federal Policy, join Dr. Julia Skapik, National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC)'s Medical Director for Informatics, in explaining how adding a contraceptive care workflow to an EHR can help expand access to high quality contraceptive care.
