Love it or Tolerate Your EHR?

13 January 2014

Since the federal government’s decision to stimulate the adoption of electronic health records began in 2009 many physicians have found themselves unhappy or simply tolerating the use of these EHR systems in their clinics. The EHR market is littered with terribly inefficient software that is responsible for killing the productivity of hundreds of thousands of healthcare providers. For some the idea of going back to paper charts would be a welcomed move compared to continuing on with their current EHR. But for others, the adoption of EHR technology has been a blessing. Do you love your EHR?

So what does it take for a physician to fall in love with their EHR? As the leader in providing high performance EHR solutions MD Logic understands what it takes to maximize the efficiency of a clinic. Our team of professionals has been providing EHR solutions since 1994 and during that time has heard “first-hand” all the drama and horror stories that has come with choosing the wrong EHR. There are (3) essential key factors an EHR must provide to win over the clinic:

1. Compliment the Clinic WorkflowFirst and foremost the EHR has to compliment the clinic with technology that makes providing patient care easier and more efficient. It is essential that your “go-live” training is completed onsite to ensure the highest level of success with the doctors and the staff.

2. Keep Pace with the Clinic WorkflowSecondly the EHR must be able to keep pace with the current patient workflow of the clinic. If a doctor currently sees 50 patients a day then the EHR must be able to keep pace with that workflow. If not, the doctor and staff will either have to reduce the number of patients seen each day or stay late each day after clinic catching up with electronic charting.

3. Provide Stability and SupportFinally the EHR software must have a proven record of stability in regards to the software running without errors. What good is any software if it crashes all the time or has bugs? In the rare case support is needed the EHR company should have a “live” operator standing by to connect you to a software support specialists that can address your support needs.
