Debunking EMR Myths

All EMRs are same

EMRs are a fad

Technology is the hard part

Software is expensive part

Computers interfere with patient

relationships

Negative impact on Provider/

patient relationship

s EHR Adoption

A biggest challenge to adopt

a technology to provide patient care. By: Atif G. Memon

Healthcare IT Consultant

Adopting a technology is never been so easy for any of the

industry. With the advancement of today’s world 2010 played a

vital role. US healthcare market made a remarkable

achievement while making lots of problems for those who are

not aware with this technology. In this regards, I made a survey

“EMR VS EHR”, in order to gain the knowledge from

healthcare providers and IT professionals. I was amazed that

instead of such a huge advancement in the market, there is no

any proper reason to adopt EMR technology. Some of the

providers want EMR because of the incentives; some of them

want to avoid any penalty by the Government. On the other

hand EMR vendors are making such technology which is based

on complicated system, making lots of problems for those

caregivers who are already unaware about this system. In last

months of 2010, there were conducted lots of seminars,

webinars and conferences to understand the use of EMR but it

never been into the right direction. While being into the market,

I always use to find a solution and try to make ideas that how to

make providers to facilitate in adoption of EMR, while they

understand it to use. An EMR should be a self-dependent, that

don’t need any further EMR Experts to use it. EMR should also

be used as a secure asset of patient information that should only

be shared between Caregiver and patient. I would prefer that if

Healthcare IT Professionals works to minimize the complexity

of EMR rather than making a hybrid solution, which would be

easier to adopt for the providers. This will not only be helpful

for the Industry but also for Caregivers to adopt this

Technology.

EHRs alone don't improve care Dr. Susan Thomas

Health IT Consultant

Augusta, Maine

This research makes sense. The authors mention a lack

of training as a probable cause, but I say that is only part of the problem. Implementing an electronic health-record system alone does not improve care. Improving processes improve care. I have seen an EHR used as a finely tuned tool that helps physicians save lives and keep patients healthier longer. I have seen EHR use as a glorified word processor, bogging down

care and causing critical information to be overlooked. Or, yes, as an E&M coder to collect bullets for billing, as a reader suggests here. National policy must not simply reward for implementing technology, but for revolutionizing the way we practice. Let's keep our eyes on the prize: improved care for all.
