Recently, on HIStalk, Mike Gleason took the time to outline and explain 10 specific reasons that small practices have a hard time implementing EHR or EMR products.
His take?
Being an EHR implementer for the past 7 years has given me (I think) a unique perspective on why Dr’s make decisions and defer decisions. It differs for most Physicians’ but I think I can provide a few reasons. I’m sure it applies to all of us as well.
- Fear
- Ego
- Money
- War Stories
- No one wants to go first
- Product not perfected yet
- Waiting on Govt mandates
- Waiting on hospital install or Stark gift
- I have people for that
- Change
Interested in seeing how each of these reasons plays a part in EHR adoption? See “Mike Gleason on Reasons Small Practices are not implementing EHRs a fast as we would like.”
