Emr system
PMRNC:
My doctors are going to hate me because i am refusing a medical record on my family.. don't want it and I've seen enough of it that I know i won't want it.
DMK:
I agree Linda. EMR packages are "cookie cutter" meaning that there are statements already set up in the software so the doctor only has to push a button and it types in the statement. The reports we get from other doctors' offices are full of errors. The notes look more complete, but they aren't correct a lot of the time. Once again it's Garbage In Garbage Out! Doctors don't really like EMR, and our patient's keep complaining that all the doctor does is look at his computer now instead of looking at them!
PMRNC:
It's going to be interesting for sure to see how doctors handle it for patients who refuse an EMR. I had a nightmare of a problem not once but TWICE and that's 2 times too many for me.

I have lost a couple of clients to an EMR - mainly because that's part of their sales pitch to any clients who use a billing service- that providers will save money because it's so easy to bill out. What they don't tell them is it's the a/r follow up that is time consuming not the billing out. Although, soon there may even be software that takes care of most of this issue as well.
I could have explain this to try to retain my clients but unfortunately sometime when they're set to transition, they won't tell you until they've already signed on the dotted line and it's too late.
Even the HMO organizations & insurance companies are partnering with EMR companies to push providers to use EMRs to make it easier for them to process claims and to access for datamining purposes.
Sorry I'm not as optimistic about our industry as others here but one thing is for sure - there is a lot of changes in our industry and we will need to change with it in order to survive. Also another tip is stay in touch with your clients, if not, someone or something else will.

I agree, one of the software systems that I am interested in promotes a certain EMR system. I think if the provider wants EMR great if not great. My plan for my business is to be aware and current on all new systems and procedures. I think the business has to adapt to the industry.
