I tend to lurk mostly nowadays. I miss Al Borges. His post are really life plight of the dying breed of Private Primary care Physicians. It will be likely in exchange for our patient load that the EMR we would adopt in my area will be EPIC, whether we like it or not. Our option is to abandon traditional practice where we would stop doing in patient

I will be careful with what is posted on forums and demos by any EMR. Its all HYPE and BRANDING. Each one including users have their own agenda. I apologize on behalf of Murdoch's post considering we are MD's. I thought we have outgrown these immature jabs, which explains why Doctors are all owned now but a few fast to evolve MD's that defy

I asked my web designer to have my forms available for online and filled out by patients but the HIPPAA regulation is a concern. Since paper work continues to preoccupy our days work, your idea is fantastic but when I explored it, the privacy issues worry me when it is via the web site. I wonder if locally done/within office could be an alternative

Its hard not to sound righteous or arrogant but I dedicated my life on accurate and precise extraction of history from a patient. You will remember in med school the emphasis on obtaining an UNADULTERATED history, as the basis, of an accurate diagnosis, felt to be 90%, and whatever additional testing is required only improves or increases the probability

I am sorry about your mother Scott, and I've warned these people involved. They really do not see a face, and are not a part of patients lives. To them they are lives, insured lives and clients, and we are providers! Statistically, it appears that 5% may be insignificant but looking at numbers 5% of 10,000 people is 500 people in my community. That

I engage the so called "IT physician leader", who is non clinical in our hospital system. She told me that this is the "future", even before I could express my concern of work flow disruption with the Cerner system we have. Not realizing that I have an EMR for 11 years. You would think these pundits would ask assistance or input

When a colleague would ask me, I always tell them to use a system that simulates their work flow and not disrupt their daily routine. If training requires a day or more to go live. Leave the system. Learning to optimize and automate repetitive stuff certainly may take a week and thru the life of the system. Run away if the EMR they select is being sold
