EMR Implementation – The Candy Bar Cure

Written by:

One day at the beginning of the “EMR Experience”, I saw the nurses quite upset and overwhelmed with all the changes and the learning curve of implementing an EMR. You could literally feel the negativity in the air. My wife had supplied my office with a Costco box of candy bars. Seeing the candy bars gave me an idea. I walked through the clinic with the box of candy bars offering them to everyone. It was amazing how a little candy bar could literally change the mood of the entire clinic. Maybe every EMR system should provide a box of candy bars as part of every EMR purchase.
