“I heard an interesting statistic a few days ago during a very informative webinar – “The Future of Meaningful Use, EHRs and Accountable Care” – hosted by Greenway Medical’s Justin Barnes. He shared a huge amount of information during the hour-long presentation, but the fact that most stood out to me was that, according to Barnes, between 35 and 50 percent of EMRs will eventually be replaced after just one year of use. (Don’t quote him on the “year,” but I’m pretty sure that’s what he said.) His point being, of course, that providers need to think long and hard about what type of solution they need to fit their workflows before they spend time and money implementing an EMR.”
