According to John at EMR and HIPPA, "My personal projection is that ONC should be really pleased if they achieve 50% EMR adoption by the end of the HITECH act (approximately 5 years). A number of really smart and involved people at HIMSS agreed with me on those numbers."
His other predictions include:
- Small practices have a much lower EMR adoption percentage as compared with large practices
- Specialists have a higher EMR adoption percentage than general medicine doctors
What is the best way to grab those small practices or specialists?
Make your EMR the most efficient and best value for them. There are lots of things to consider when building an EMR, but drug information adds value no matter what. Drug information is the foundation upon which safe decisions are made; decisions that involve pediatric dosage, drug interaction, drug classifications, and drug & medicine interactions.
