      CHAPTER 23

      Choosing the Electronic Health Record

      John Shufeldt

      ONLY A SMALL NUMBER of physicians in the United States fully use an electronic health record (EHR), even though EHRs have been widely available for years. Common barriers to adoption have included excessive setup and maintenance costs, disruption to physician productivity, legal concerns, and insufficient demonstrable financial or clinical benefits. However, thanks to technological progress, as well as incentives offered by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, consumer demand is finally overcoming resistance and spurring adoption.

      The General Accounting Office estimated that over $200 billion could be saved annually in the United States with more widespread adoption of EHR systems by physicians. In addition, the General Accounting Office estimates that nearly 100,000 lives could be saved annually.

      For example; a 2013 study from the University of Michigan School of Public Health found that practices that implement an EHR without a well-thought-out plan and dedicated focus on enhancing revenue and cutting costs are likely to lose more than $43,000 over 5 years. In other words, 73% of those surveyed failed to see an ROI.¹ Notably, a 2012 user satisfaction survey of the American Academy of Family Physicians showed that only 38% of respondents were highly satisfied with their EHR systems.²

      This chapter offers a road map to successful EHR selection, adoption, and implementation. It reviews today’s EHR competitive landscape, including both opportunities promulgated by the HITECH Act and the hazards of adopting the wrong
