   This is helpful, John, thanks.

   My experience with searching high level links is that you can’t readily find what you need….forgive me for not checking your list out before writing this, but it would be helpful if within the resource list, a “table of contents” with links for the sites would be helpful, or at least a description/summary of what infomation is available on the site.

   For example, I want information on how to apply for grants. In my past experience, I haven’t been able to find anything right away when looking at a site, and so have to postpone it until later when I have time to search, whenever that may be.

   What do you think?

   Thanks again.

   Eunice,
   Hopefully I made myself clear in the post above. I think the links listed above are useless. At least if you’re looking for good quality, unbiased EMR information to help you select and implement an EMR. That’s why I didn’t even make links out of them.

   If I have time, I’ll make my own list of links that I think people should know about and will include a description of why the link is useful.

   No doubt a central place for good quality info/links would be good. That’s part of why I started the EMR and HIPAA wiki: http://emrandhipaa.com/wiki/Main_Page Still has a ways to go, but has some decent information now.

   John,

   I’ll comment here as I find good resources.

   Meanwhile, although written by EMR vendors, the websites for Allscripts and NextGen both have well-written summary information about the particulars of the economic stimulus package.

   http://www.allscripts.com/thetimeisNOW/ (see the Background links on the right)
   http://www.nextgen.com/stimulus/details.html

   Eunice,
   I like the Allscripts and NextGen Sites for EMR stimulus info. Mostly because they have the money to understand the legislation. Plus, they’ve been part of the rule creation process. So, their proximity to the EMR stimulus makes them good resources for those details.

   You just have to be careful with some of their other info on EMR since it definitely has a big EMR vendor slant.

   You are right, John. There are MANY other resources to help physicians identify the EHR system that meets their individual needs. Some of these resources charge fees, but one free and unbiased resource is http://www.emrconsultant.com. EMRconsultant.com allows physicians to complete an individual EHR profile, which will be compared to over 300 EHR products in the database. The system will then recommend 3-5 specific EHR products based on a physician’s profile. It’s worth a look for any physician considering an EHR system!

   Most EMR vendors are also trying to convince you that meaningful use is already set and in place and that they are already qualified. One great blog to follow for unbiased REAL info is roates.blogspot.com

   Tom,
   You’re right about that. Many EMR vendors are spouting all sorts of lies and misinformation. I like Randall Oates blog a lot.
