Technology and paperless records are coming whether folks are ready or not. <BR/><BR/>I post quite a bit about EHRs and PHRs and having spent time with a physician years ago writing one, it changed how I looked upon the process and really strengthened my belief in partners and proper implementation of software and getting the "buy in" from all concerned too, which is not an easy task as you know. <BR/><BR/>Be the jet and keep the good stuff coming!Medical Quackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12443589277651479846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-91052863599113631362009-01-02T13:17:00.000-08:002009-01-02T13:17:00.000-08:00John –From my seat reading your blog is the equiva...John –<BR/><BR/>From my seat reading your blog is the equivalent of watching Tiger Woods play golf or Michael Jordan play basketball. It is a pleasure to follow those who push the envelope on transparency and self-development and I applaud both yourself and Mr. Levy with driving theory into practice.<BR/><BR/>I have 2 questions for you within the realm of EHR and Healthcare IT systems:<BR/><BR/>1. With regards to integrated Healthcare IT systems what organization(s) across the country would you say are pushing the envelope with integrating IT health informatics platforms, the VA notwithstanding, and<BR/><BR/>2. Given the multiple barriers to EHR/EMR/ePrescribing adoption, and the challenges with current systems lacking the level of intuitiveness to motivate adoption, where along the product development stage do you see EHRs and have any industry-types discussed the idea of skipping development (economically driven) stages and pushing EHR/PHR vendors to make these platforms much more intuitive and less complex?<BR/><BR/>Thanks very much for all your contributions.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128036766530412198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-27047005848221571122009-01-01T08:54:00.000-08:002009-01-01T08:54:00.000-08:00I had to smile when I read your statement that "Fr...I had to smile when I read your statement that "Free is not cheap enough for primary care physicians in the US." <BR/><BR/>From the Philippines, all I can say to that is: "in the East, as it is in the West..."molavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02615626546564658566noreply@blogger.com
