The need for EMR's

Post by packets » Mon Jul 11, 2011 8:13 am

What is it called when people feel need to spend so much time convincing others of the value of a product or service?
How about: false, untrue, incorrect, made-up, and just plain wrong…
EMR’s are not an “if” but “when” idea and most are very excited about applying new technology, sooner rather than later, for the potential effectiveness, efficiency, and additional patient services which can be realized and offered.
But when you then explain the current HIPAA and HITECH mandate, the excitement quickly fades, the discussion veers off the topic of business efficacy and patient savings, to a frustration about the additional capital required to defer the cost of penalty. Defensive medicine again becomes the “practice” of the day and all the wonderful benefits that is EMR’s are lost due to the CYA mode that will allow the business to continue…

Curious…are there other forum(s) “out there” discussing the unique IT infrastructure issues that make possible EMR’s within the Dental industry? :?:
