Currently there are over 300 Electronic Medical Record Companies in the marketplace. As a majority of medical practices are taking the leap to adopt Electronic Health Records (EHR) there seems to be a glaring difference in success amongst practices. Practices that have implemented EHR with the goal of integrating and optimizing their entire operations in concert with the EHR system seem to have higher satisfaction rates and better outcomes. These practices have utilized training from the Electronic Medical Record Companies or have hired consultants to properly plan and implement the process. Practices that have adopted EHR without proper implementation or selection techniques are substantially dissatisfied. This may sound somewhat obvious to most readers, but many practices make the leap without considering some key factors when selecting and implementing EHR systems. As more and more feedback comes in, we are finding that the likelihood of success for medical practices adopting EHR is directly linked to how the selection and implementation process occurs.
A great article on electronic medical record companies. A must read if you're a private medical practice looking into EHR systems.
