As an RN working for an HMO that utilizes a program for the EMR, there are great advantages. Patient information is easily accessible. A telephone encounter r/t a patient medical problem can be routed to the primary care physician, to the specialist or an advise nurse in order to address the correct course of treatment, issue or patient question. Within the system some information from other systems, such as the referral system my organization uses, do not "speak to each other", which creates more work. I do prefer the EMR as a case manager working in a specialty area, I do not know how much I would prefer it as a staff RN in a inpatient setting. Interesting article on EMR.

I would say less then 10% of medical practices have any form of EHR/EMR or what ever you want to call it. I advise medical practices on technology for their practice in the NYC area. I have seen very few successful HER/EMR implementations. I have seen so many failed implementations where I am brought in to remedy the situation. 99% of the reason these implementations fail is because there is no workflow analysis, not enough commitment from the users and the complexity of these systems. I have written several papers on the matter. You can read about them at www.globotron.com. Pascal Helou Interesting article but the reality is very different in a medical practice.
