Are you happy with your EHR?

EHR Always the right choice - In this ongoing era when healthcare industry is going through major transformation, implementing an EHR is a critical decision. If successful, it can double practice revenue and improves patient care by manifolds. However, if it fails, it can also go the other way around.

The positive and negative impacts of EHR implementation depend greatly on the EHR vendor and the way EHR is implemented. Not every EHR is suitable for every practice. First analyze your requirements and then choose a certified EHR from a reliable vendor. An EHR implemented module-wise and followed by proper trainings has less chances of failure and is expected to keep providers happy.

If you are not happy with your EHR, give it a try with some remedial measures before declaring it a failure. If your EHR is not working out, contact the vendor. Most of the time vendors make serious efforts to resolve the issue as it can hurt their reputation. If you think that providers are having difficulty in using EHR, you can ask your vendor to arrange trainings. It is always safe to choose EHR that offer 90-day trial period or warranty. This can save you from loss in case of EHR failure.
