The CFO of large healthcare organizations is historically who decides what software is purchased and used. Why the CFO? Because most enterprise healthcare software is built to support the billing/accounts receivable department.
It's very difficult to find an EMR that focuses on patient care and communication. The cynical side of me thinks that there isn't an incentive to build this kind of software. Doctor's aren't paid to make you healthier; they're paid to submit to insurance companies the correct diagnosis and procedure codes.

I can tell you that most clinicians would be jumping for joy if software that was more physician- and patient-oriented became the norm.
