EHR Wish List – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 9/3 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by John Lynn (@techguy) from @hcitoday on the topic “EHR Wish List.

While the EHR market is quite mature and we don’t see new EHR implementations happening a lot, it’s easy to ignore the impact that the EHR has on healthcare.  Often, that can lead to complacency from an EHR vendor who isn’t selling to new customers, but just has to keep existing customers satisfied.  Plus, the technical debt of the EHR may hamper innovation as well.

On this week’s chat, we’re going to talk about your EHR wish list.  What would you like to see from EHR vendors?  What changes can EHR vendors make that would improve healthcare as we know it?  If EHR was less mature, what would we be asking for EHR vendors to do?

Join us for this week’s #HITsm chat where we’ll discuss the following questions and topics.

Topics for this week’s #HITsm Chat:

T1: What’s the best EHR feature(s) you’ve seen and what made them great? #HITsm
