This is interesting to consider. I’m really not sure how you can measure this result. I think this will eventually be true, but I don’t think we’re there yet. In theory everyone wants their doctor to have an EMR. However, they really just want more services for themselves as patients. That’s very different from what an EMR provides today.
In 2003, fewer than 5 percent of hospitals in the U.S. had any form of electronic records. http://t.co/h4f5c8vJGT #EMR

My we’ve come a long ways. Now we’ll see how many organizations end up switching EHR software because they rushed their EHR implementation.

I prefer EMR and I think most doctors do as well. Although, $36 billion has a way of changing things.
Thanks!
The whole “EMR” vs “EHR” is a classic Distinction without a Difference debate.

I’ve seen slides with a dozen different three letter phrases referring to essentially the same thing. Most of the distinctions drawn are really about turf or politics.
What someone means is usually clear from context.
Happy holidays to you and yours!
