2. EHR Replacement Issues
The hunt for a fitting electronic health
record(EHR) system is a difficult one.
Ideally, a provider's EHR will be secure,
easy to use and cost effective.
There are all kinds of mishaps that may
convince a provider to begin the search
for a new EHR, but the following are a
few of the most common.

3. HITECH
While the Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health (HITECH) Act was wellintentioned in nature, it led to the
creation of many less-than-stellar
EHR programs.
Companies hastily set up and
marketed these systems in hopes of
benefiting from the nearly $26 billion
in funding appropriated by the
federal government to the adoption
of electronic medial solutions.

4. HITECH
(Cont’d)
Unfortunately, many of these
disreputable EHR businesses were
able to develop slick marketing
campaigns.
Tricking customers never serves as
a worthy business tactic in the long
run, which is likely why so many
providers are waking up
and replacing their EHR systems.

5. Work Flow Problems
In the early days of EHR, many practices
jumped on board, not because they were
enthusiastic about electronic records, but
because they just felt it was the current 'thing
to do.
These providers often did a poor job of
choosing EHR systems with optimized work
flows. Now, practices are on the lookout for
systems they can seamlessly integrate for
optimized functioning.

6. Obamacare
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, better known as Obamacare, has the
potential to greatly change the EHR setup
once it has been fully implemented.
The legislation aims to convince medical
providers to go fully electronic in their record
keeping systems, offering the overarching
goal of getting all providers involved in EHR
by 2015.
The result is continued switching from one
EHR setup to the next until the provider finds
one that will actually fulfill its specific needs.

7. Mobile Solutions
The electronic health record was long
regarded as an innovation in and of itself, but
technology has continued to evolve.
The latest trend in the industry revolves are
mobile setups in which medical professionals
can access health records from smart phones
and tablets.
This solution improves both efficiency and
patient experience.

8. Cost Efficacy
Perhaps the largest concern surrounding
EHR implementation among health care
providers is the long-term costs.
Providers are on the hunt for more
comprehensive plans that allow a level of
flexibility not present in many early EHR
systems.

9. New EHR Benefits
Whether your primary concern
related to EHR involves mobile
record keeping or basic budgeting,
hunting for a new system may be
worthwhile.
EHR's implications for health care
are huge, so it's essential that your
practice implements the best EHR
system available.
