s EHR Adoption
A biggest challenge to adopt
a technology to provide patient care.
By: Atif G. Memon
Healthcare IT Consultant
Adopting a technology is never been so easy for any of the
industry. With the advancement of today’s world 2010 played a
vital role. US healthcare market made a remarkable
achievement while making lots of problems for those who are
not aware with this technology. In this regards, I made a survey
“EMR VS EHR”, in order to gain the knowledge from
EHR Adoption in United States of America healthcare providers and IT professionals. I was amazed that
instead of such a huge advancement in the market, there is no
any proper reason to adopt EMR technology. Some of the
providers want EMR because of the incentives; some of them
want to avoid any penalty by the Government. On the other
hand EMR vendors are making such technology which is based
on complicated system, making lots of problems for those
caregivers who are already unaware about this system. In last
months of 2010, there were conducted lots of seminars,
webinars and conferences to understand the use of EMR but it
never been into the right direction. While being into the market,
I always use to find a solution and try to make ideas that how to
make providers to facilitate in adoption of EMR, while they
understand it to use. An EMR should be a self-dependent, that
don’t need any further EMR Experts to use it. EMR should also
be used as a secure asset of patient information that should only
be shared between Caregiver and patient. I would prefer that if

of EMR rather than making a hybrid solution, which would be
easier to adopt for the providers. This will not only be helpful
for the Industry but also for Caregivers to adopt this
Technology.
