“I am doing a project on EMRs for my graduate IT class at Xavier University in Cincinnati. My own topic centers on what happens to all the valuable data in the legacy paper records come day-forward? I read that many physician groups are simply scanning them into pdf format so they can be stored electronically, but this makes the files worthless from a data mining/ physician query standpoint. It occurred to me that your pros, as the experts on cradle-to-grave EMR implementations, would be a perfect source for my project. Could you ask the pros to answer a few questions regarding this?”
