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.
