EMR Industry Radar

In an effort to make sense of the littered Electronic Medical Record (EMR) & Electronic Health Record (HER) landscape I have created a monthly series dedicated to investigating, evaluating, choosing and implementing a successful EMR.

Before we begin: It is always with the most sincere effort that I try to be totally objective but I must disclose the following: I am currently an employee of ZBRELLA Inc. and I assist medical practices in choosing and implementing successful EMR systems. ZBRELLA also participates in supporting the EMR package, the network and ensuring HIPAA regulations are met through security and Disaster Recovery planning.

ZBRELLA is a certified partner of gloStream and offers the EMR package as an option but only after rigorously understanding the workflows and business goals of the medical practice.

Now that I have disclosed the information, I can continue …

The first step in the process is to begin identifying the some 500 software packages that are available on the market today and provide some preliminary information. As the process continues I will provide suggestions for how to categorize the available options to assist you in your choice.

I feel that I am in a great position to offer this information because I can leverage my practical experience to help others make informed decisions. I am not all knowing, I make plenty of mistakes but I love to learn and share, for what good is knowledge if no one shares it. It is also wise to remember what works for one medical practice or hospital may not work for the other. The success or failure of EMR projects depend heavily upon documenting business processes, reengineering processes where necessary, committing to the process, having committed user champions, and totally dedicating your organization to continuous improvement and continuing education, meaning training, training and more training. For those of you that have implemented EMR you know what I am talking about. Very little has to do with software to start, but it is later when these questions are answered that you will be able to take a list of vendors and match it to the criteria your organization or medical practice has created. For this fact alone, copying what others have done without performing your own due diligence is folly.

The EMR packages are organized in alphabetical order according to the manufacturers name and only the more significant players in the industry will receive a summary. Important categories for consideration will also be included but by no means is the list complete or authoritative.
