A good example is a fax (not of any value if no one else has one). E-mail, as you mention, is another example. <BR/><BR/>As the system becomes increasingly connected, the EMR becomes more valuable and more prevalent, increasing the likelihood of further connections. We are now seeing this with hospitals and DI providers; they want to connect. <BR/><BR/>MichelleMichelle Greiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528486116262255346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20382865.post-53024781668788572662007-09-11T14:37:00.000-04:002007-09-11T14:37:00.000-04:00Excellent analysis of today's electronic medical r...Excellent analysis of today's electronic medical records market. In the United States, I think we're fast approaching the early majority phase, when we should expect EMR adoption rates to quickly escalate.<BR/><BR/>I remember sitting at my desk in the early 1990s, think to myself that electronic mail was such a great idea, but remembering that no one I knew had an e-mail account. Literally 12 months later, it seems, everyone had e-mail and I was the guy in the dark. <BR/><BR/>I suspect the same thing will happen with electronic medical records software. Eventually, physicians without this technology will find themselves like a fish out of water, as the paradigm dramatically shifts and those without an EMR are left in the dark. <BR/><BR/>EMR Software Guy,<BR/>http://www.electronic-medical-record.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
