Nope! But it has quite a few years of prosperity left in it.

I think it’s funny to call it a prenup. Translation: Read and understand your contract. A lot of people are starting to pay the price for this one.
True! See http://t.co/MiM9v4MOFN RT @TeamMDrs @mloxton @SusannahFox @EdBennett @wareFLO tools w/o intelligent workflow are not intelligent

Let’s be honest. EHRs today aren’t intelligent.
EHRs are not exactly intelligent.
There are parts that are, but the premise of workflow is what I’ve pounded home from day 1.
Most EHRs are designed with an “optimum” workflow. Optimum from the vendor’s perspective.
The reality is most private practices have reinvented the wheel and have their own workflow.
This workflow may not be the most efficient, it may not be the most practical, but it is what has been used for years (decades?) and works for the practice.
So: if you want an EHR to work well for your practice you need to either:
1)change all of your workflows to match what the EHR expects you to do, or
2) have the EHR customized to your workflows.
John,
I like the way you describe the issue that many face. I agree with you and think it’s largely the challenge that many face with their EHR.
