Just reply in the comments of this post or on the EMR and HIPAA contact us page and I’ll update this post with all the webinars we can find. Note to Readers: Just be aware that most of the EMR vendor presentations on meaningful use are also a “sales presentation” for that EHR software. Just be prepared to be sold if you attend the EHR company webinars. However, in many cases they can also be great sources of information, because they’ve spent a lot of time in Washington watching the meaningful use process. So, you have to take the good with the bad. I’ve taken a few minutes to ...

Ok, so maybe I went a little overboard when I said that the EHR stimulus tour sickens me and compared the EHR stimulus tour to an Amway or MLM convention. Yes, I did feel a little icky going to it and even leaving the event. However, I will admit that it was much calmer than I would have ever expected it would be. They did a pretty good job of leaving out the sales talk. Although, Allscripts really was the only vendor with much presence. A Citrix rep was there along with a local Embarq salesperson who had some Cisco IP representation as well. Overall, I have a feeling that many will go away from the event disappointed. They did provide some good information on the amount of the EHR st...

Recently we had a round of vendor presentations and one of them was not really enthusiastic about accessing EMRs with a PDA claiming the screen is too small and that he would recommend rather rustic technologies instead like COWS (computers on wheels)! Such archaic thinking! Another vendor on the other hand demo’d his product’s mobile version which was very cool - it works via a PDA’s mobile browser so it’s pretty platform agnostic. It’s all about design and even if the screen is small, it is usable if the design is right. Anyway I came across this article (via a Tweet from @Berci) on Connecting your EMR through your iPhone which I think is interesting reading. Now, if you use an E...

Allscripts is no doubt a large player in the EHR industry (like it or not). This is especially true after Allscripts acquisition of Misys. So, Glen Tullman will have a large effect on the EHR industry so it’s worth listening to hear what he has to say. I’ll include a few quick comments of my own below the video. Overall a pretty low key video. There were a few things that are worth commenting on. The first thing that hit me was that Glen Tullman thought that the controversy over CCHIT was that CCHIT certified over 300 EHR vendors. Glen makes the argument that government wants a smaller footprint of EHR vendors and that 300 was too many. I guess I can kind of see why govern...

We’ve posted some recent blogs about EMR 2.0 (here and here) outlining what makes an EMR and EMR 2.0. But we haven’t spent much time explaining why EMR 2.0’s are needed and what the benefits are to healthcare provides and patients. Look for some future blogs on these topics, but in the meantime check out this great video by AllScripts which is truly worth ten thousand words. My favorite words: “Shouldn’t connecting to healthcare be as easy as going online, using an ATM, or downloading music?” We agree that yes, connecting to healthcare should be as easy and with EMR 2.o it will be.
