What's at stake with an EHR Failure ?
More than 50 % of EHR implementations fail. With Costs for adopting an electronic health records system in an ambulatory practice exceeding $120,000 per physician, an EHR failure could cost you as much as
84 percent of that cost ($101,250) due to lost revenue from fewer patient encounters according to a recent study. A majority of EHR Implementations fail because there is a gross failure to properly undestand the needs of the EHR users to practice high quality health care in a productive and efficient manner. Generally this is due to a failure to engage the stakeholders early in the selection process to understand their specialty specific practice workflows to develop and implement practical and efficient workflows wihile using the EHR. Successul EHR implementations not only obtain end user input, but they take the information and develop realistic practical use training programs which assist the users in developing EHR expertise so productivity does not suffer at Go-Live. Successful EHR Implementations ultimately allow the providers to be Health Care Providers not data entry technicians. The key to success is to select the Right EHR for your practice.
