Not convinced about EMR?

When you have such a disruptive technology as EHR/EMR hit a vertical market such as Healthcare you are bound to have push back, and rightfully so. The early adopters are easy, then comes the convincing and the proof. I have a saying that I have been using for many years, "What is the best word processor on the market? The one you know.". Remember the last time you had to replace a favorite tool, whatever it was. The new one is not as comfortable, it is a piece of S... then you get to know it, use it more, it's not so bad, even better than an old friend. Jimmy Conners had the same problem in the 70's when he would not give up his old Wilson racket. Finally he did and he played better. He thought he needed that old racket to play well. It wasn't the racket, it is the person using it that really counts. Things change and EMR/EHR are here to stay, so embrace them, be a champion. You may as well.
