Ambulatory EHR/EMR Implementations
Ambulatory EHR/EMR implementations are at the center
of Meaningful Use certification programs. Organizations
are looking to established industry leaders as well as
newer emerging technologies to meet their clinical
needs. Many of the larger vendors such as McKesson and
Cerner have acute care EHR solutions as well as
ambulatory EHR solutions. In many cases the ambulatory
capability was acquired to meet the need of the extended
hospital enterprise. However, there are literally
hundreds of ambulatory EHR systems to be considered. As
expected, these systems bring specific functionality
that meets the needs of the ambulatory setting, but also
bring another layer of integration and interoperability
risk. Further, as there are so many vendors, many of
which are quite small, meeting certification
requirements now, and more importantly in the future is
a risk that all organizations must consider and
understand. Some have a comprehensive offering and
others only meet a portion of the certification
criteria.
