The Coming $19B Obama Flood in EMR Software?

02/16/09

My wife is a family practice physician. Her clinic, FINALLY, is installing an electronic medical records system. I can't tell you the number of times I've felt sick to my stomach while walking through her clinic looking at wall after wall of floor-to-ceiling files. It's an in-your-face visual reminder of the information silos that prevent physicians from understanding a patient's condition holistically & achieving better patient outcomes.
