We’re taking a small break from our regularly scheduled MACRA Monday program to bring you this special announcement. This post is the 2000th blog post on EMR and EHR! Check out the admin view I woke up to this morning:
I’m pretty excited by this achievement since I nearly sold this blog about 8-9 years ago. Plus, this blog was kind of started on a lark to help someone who wanted a place to blog. 21 blog posts later, he got a new job and couldn’t blog anymore, so I continued it without him.
As EMR and EHR has progressed, we’ve worked hard to focus the content of the site on the ambulatory market and have expanded beyond the topics of EMR and EHR into anything that might be useful to an ambulatory organization. I’m happy to say that EMR and EHR is approaching 5 million pageviews.
In the beginning, I was the main blogger on the site, but I certainly haven’t done this alone. To all those people who contributed to EMR and EHR over the years, I can’t thank you enough:

The nice thing is, we’re really just getting started. We have a lot more planned for EMR and EHR. One thing we’re working on is doing a number of blog post series on topics that matter to ambulatory practices similar to what we’ve done with MACRA Monday. These series will be deep dives into topics that matter to ambulatory practices.
From these blog post series, we’re also going to generate a list of the various companies in that space similar to what we’ve done with EHR companies in the past. One challenge we see ambulatory practices face is they don’t know all of the companies out there that are creating innovative solutions that can make their practice run more efficiently. Hopefully these new resources will help them cut through all the noise and discover companies they’ve likely never heard of before.
It’s an exciting time in the industry because I think that practices are now ready to move beyond the EHR. Don’t get me wrong, the EHR has had a good run and will continue to be an integral part of every practice. In fact, we still have a lot of work to do to get value out of the EHR. However, we need to explore what else practices need to be successful in this ever-changing healthcare world. We’ll be exploring this question in our next 2000 blog posts.
