To those of you wondering if I should be writing this piece or reading it, that makes 3 of us.
I’m the sort of fellow who when confronted with a fork in the road takes it.
There are a lot of people drinking the EHR Kool Aid. It would be easier to take the conventional approach, rally around them, wave the flag, and take the Alfred E. Newman perspective of, “What, me worry?”
It’s not just that I think this is complex, it’s that I am convinced it’s orders of magnitude more complex and more expensive than anything healthcare providers have done.
I know it can be done to your advantage, but it depnds on who is steering the ship.

Absolutely… it is orders of magnitude more complex than one would imagine. Partly because the investments in technology have been made in the diagnostic realm, not office/facility administration. That said, other industries have crossed the chasm, so we’re not paving an entirely new path. Here is my opinion and synopsis of an Agile approach to EHR implementation for a physician’s practice.
