EHR–the ‘E’ is silent

 

Triva-what are the names of Macbeth's witches?

Listen for a second.  the sound you here is the vaccuum created by the docs as they run from their EHR.  

 
There are a number of stats showing EHR adoption rates, and there are stats showing defections, but nobody seems to be publishing ‘net gains’ which by the way is a pretty small number.

You can’t walk along the internet these days without tripping over someone with an opinion about EHR.  Most of those opining are cheerleaders.  If you look closely, the loudest cheering is being done with people  who are trying to get you to buy the product.

When I asked him his opinion the other day, Macbeth offered, “I will not be afraid of death and bane,
Till Birnam forest come to Dunsinane.”

Not very helpful, but he’s dead–and make believe.  For the rest of us, be afraid, be very afraid.  Sort of a buyer beware on steroids.
