As a small-practice physician, you have probably pondered, at least once, whether or not to deploy an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. If you are like many, the information you have gathered has raised as many questions as it has answered, and perhaps you are now more confused than you were when you started. When speaking with colleagues who have approached the same issue, you have probably heard some success stories, as well as some horror stories. Some praise EMRs as a practice-saver while others dismiss it as great waste of time, resources and money, abandoning the project and re-embracing paper records. If all of this has left you in about the same place as you started, you're not alone. You've entered “The Puzzle of the EMR”
And it's no wonder. For many physicians in small practices, the kind of ambiguity in approaching EMR mentioned above is all too familiar. And small practices cannot afford to make mistakes. Even the term “EMR” itself is often used interchangeably (and mistakenly) as EHR, or Electronic Health Record. The result is confusion for the vast majority of the more than 500,000 physicians who face this conundrum today, or have had to deal with it in the past. According to industry forecasts, as many as 100,000 physicians and practices may be making decisions on EMR in the next 24 months, as the market reaches the so-called “Tipping Point.” The best of the companies are even developing “best practices” in the implementation of EMR systems.
