Physician Practice has reader survey data (site asks for zip code and some demographics to view the whole article) on Health IT adoption. While the data is not particularly rigorous scientifically, it has some interesting results and comments by respondents: �There are no standard leaders in medical software as in many other industries,� says another. �There are too many variations and vendors. The interfaces are proprietary rather than open. It is difficult to spend that much money, knowing that the support in the future may be limited and that there may eventually be a standardized software out there.�

�Not being compensated for the added investment� of an EMR, yet another respondent allows.

It also reports an overall negative Return On Investment (ROI) for most adopters meaning it costs more than it saves for most respondents.
