Ok, so this is like sending an email and forgetting the attachment. Here's the link to the article I talked about in the previous post: Tense Moments When Implementing an EMR

Thanks for the great article. Great to have some Dr/Tech person perspective.

One other thing to think about converting from a legacy system is when the Legacy system has poorly implemented processes and therefor has poor data. Not a good thing to convert. You don’t really want to make your EMR out of whack from day one.

I agree with so many of the experiences you described. Here’s an article that I found described the emotions of implementing a new EMR.

Finally, what are you going to do with your 4D EMR system? What would the practice do if(God Forbid) you got hit by a bus? Anyway, just wondering what kind of pains your “baby” would go through if your “baby” should lose you.

Hello!
I’m a health informatics student and I fully agree with your points, esepcially the one on “Design Issues”. Coming from a computer science background, and then taking years of health informatics classes has really helped in bridging the two fields of medicine and computers.
Thanks for your thoughts on that, I really enjoyed reading…
