The selection of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system is not merely a procurement exercise; it is the most significant operational commitment a hospital leadership team will ever undertake.
In the corridors of health system administration, we often refer to this as the “billion-dollar handshake.” This moniker reflects the reality that once a contract is signed, the hospital is inextricably bound to a technology partner for the next decade or more.
This decision defines the central nervous system of your entire healthcare ecosystem, influencing every clinical touchpoint and administrative workflow.
