From ZDNet ... 2010 will be the year of Electronic Health Record (EHR) Implementation
Colleagues,
From the uniformly excellent analysis of Dana Blankenhorn, ZDNet Healthcare ...
... key decisions on Electronic Health Records (EHRs) were made this year, making 2010 a big year for implementation...
1. Stimulus money will flow based on making use of EHRs, not just for EHR software and hardware.
2. EHR advocates now face hard questions relating their gear to gains in productivity and quality.
3. The CCHIT, a product of the HIMSS industry group, no longer has control over the choices hospitals and clinics have.
4. Power is slowly moving from EHR “experts” like McKesson and Epic toward general technology firms like Microsoft.
... Together they portend a lot of upheaval for 2010.
Here are just some of the implications:
1. There is going to be a gold rush. Hospitals and clinics are going to turn ... to serious buyers in 2010.
2. Expect some big mergers as firms like H-P and Dell seek credibility with this market, buying the best of the mainline firms.
3. The focus on productivity means we’re going to see a lot of “case studies” focused on using EHR data to drive change in medical practice.
4. There is going to be a lot of job growth throughout the sector.
The National Coordinator for Health IT, David Blumenthal, set us up for the last by putting $80 million into training the EHR shock troops, who should start emerging from community colleges in the next year...
... results will be driven by the beacon communities on whom Blumenthal’s office will bestow $235 million starting early next year. The big news of 2010 will probably be made in February, when the money is doled out and we get to see what the Administration defines as excellence...
... don’t forget. This still leaves over $18 billion unaccounted for, money that will start to flow during the year as hospitals and clinics achieve the 2011 “meaningful use” goals...
... At the end of 2009 we know what the game is. The game is not to install EHR systems ...
... While I was writing this Microsoft announced it is buying Sentillion, which works at moving EHR data from proprietary systems to the Web. The merger gold rush has already begun! ...
