Medical Record Exit Strategies

John Faughnan has written a thought provoking piece on something that few organizations think about: What happens if an organization wants to switch electronic medical record (EMR) vendors? ‘…I think this is an interesting question. There are many reasons a practice might want to change EMR vendors. A practice might be acquired, or it might be sold. It could split or merge. It could change character (FP to multispecialty). A vendor might raise rates, or go out of business, or change markets, or leave the market. A product could be suited to a small practice but not a large one, to a single site but not multiple sites, etc…’ Lots of good links in this one.
