life implementation and use stories.
Many EMR systems are known to be facility- and specialty-specific. Go with
one that is geared to your needs. For our general and bariatric surgery depart-
ment, for instance, we didn't choose the system that flourishes in internal medi-
cine practices. If you're at a freestanding surgery center, find out which EMRs
are in use at other centers like yours, not just what the majority of local hospi-
tals have found success with.
Lastly, seek out a company that is building for the future. By this I mean one
offering EMRs that can be upgraded over time. As with any computer, a system
that can build on itself and that has room to grow lets you discover its possibili-
ties and add to them as your information technology needs change.
