I believe this article is only about this specific system. The problem is that the name of the system is "Electronic Medical Record", which makes the article sound like all such systems are hated.
- amarant 3y agoIf this is the case, the name of the system needs proper capitalization in the title.
- autarch 3y agoI don't think that's the case. AFAIK there's no such system. The article specifically reference Epic, which is one of the biggest (_the_ biggest?) EHR software company in the US. My wife used it as a nurse and I've watched my own providers struggle with it. It sucks.
- benglish11 3y agoEPIC is also used outside of the US too, there are famous botched implementations of it in Norway and Finland. It’s not just a USA problem
- hanche 3y agoIndeed. The biggest hospital where I live (Trondheim, Norway) is still running at reduced capacity and over budget a year after moving to an Epic derivative. Doctors and nurses are burning out, many talking about moving elsewhere. Being recently retired, I am concerned that this may not be a safe place to grow old, if the hospital (by all accounts an excellent one) is dragged down by this horror of a system.
- namdnay 3y agoSaying “it sucks” is like saying “SAP sucks”. Whatever system you get out of one of these projects is 99% dependent on the project team (on both sides), and 1% on the product base, which is invariably “meh”
