The one issue that is a bit different about EMR versus ERP is that there are only a small handful of ERP vendors to choose from. However, we have 300-600 to choose from in the EMR world. That’s an important and challenging difference. However, the similarities to ERP are many. One of the most striking is how the EMR like the ERP is something that’s going to be used and have an effect on the entire organization. As such, the need to manage the participation of multiple stakeholders is so key. The key to a successful ERP implementation is to have a great project leader.  Some...

Every month or so, you meet to hammer out and vett new directions that your medical record will take. Which mods to bring in, when to do major and minor upgrades, how to educate physicians and staff about the transitions, and so on. And every month, you’re surprised with what folks rate a PASS or a FAIL. Every single time. I’ve been in these fun little shoes. It’s embarrassing if you’re the “physician champion,” and one of your duties is to minimize organizational surprises from doctor pushback. Being surprised keeps life interesting, but entertainment value is limited when it means going back to the drawing board. Sooo…I’ve distilled a list of 7 Key Tests — filters — t...

It wasn’t going to affect my life and it sure wasn’t going to have any lasting effect. That just wasn’t going to happen in my world. I soon learned how wrong I was. Not being impacted proved not to be possible. The life changing outcome that came with a breast cancer diagnosis has been a theme coursing through many of my blogs over these past years. I am changed, my life has changed, there is no going back. I have been thinking lately though that it wasn’t breast cancer that had the power to change me, but rather it was finding my own seat of strength and power that transformed me and affected my life. I discovered that I could rise to the challenge that came with treatment. I was able to overco...

Except — wait a minute — it was actually a senior Republican member of the House, one of those right-wing Texans, who issued the most direct threat to the football officials summoned before the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection: Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, who has introduced legislation that would prevent the NCAA from calling a game a national championship unless it’s the outcome of a playoff, bluntly warned Sw...

My colleague and I were curious about who would show up on the last conference day, especially after the late night festivities the night prior (Huey Lewis And The News, and KC And The Sunshine Band). Thankfully, folks did show for the 9 AM session, and didn’t leave in droves, either. Good Cop, Bad Cop Our talk focused on the importance of cooperation at the upper levels of the management team, if you want a successful EMR roll-out. As alluded to in The Leadership Secrets Of Joseph Stalin, inspired by Dr. Cephus Allin, this means melding “physician champions” and “practice administrators” into a cohesive, irresistible team. The administrator-realist role&#8230...
