EHR is truly a mess which is why I feel compelled, as a somewhat computer-skilled physician, to try to do something. There is a lot of potential to improve EHR but I think we have to start from scratch with a completely new way of thinking. It will be very costly but current solutions aren't working to help the physician, it just adds to the workload.

The business models of EHR's I'm not that familiar with, I will read the thread you provided, thanks! It sounds like you have experience working with EHR development?

Not first hand, but I followed it quite closely when we as activists tried to prevent Finnish healthcare from getting an Epic based system (that turned out to be exactly the disaster we predicted).


Well done! Epic Systems sounds like a nightmare corporation, ruining the lives of health professionals all over the world.
