CATALYST
SUMMARY
ANALYSIS
The immense benefits of EHRs are trumped only by their high costs
EHR adoption will be inevitable due to internal as well as
external factors
Cost is the most significant, but not the only, barrier to
adoption
EHR technologies are evolving
No need to reinvent the wheel: EHR technologies are already
available in other industries
An EHR is essentially an Enterprise Content Management solution
EHRs will shift from an on-premise software towards a software as
a service model
For most providers, todays off-the-shelf EHRs are more than
sufficient for their needs
As EHRs become more advanced, they will require solutions from
multiple vendors
Basic EHRs will turn paper-based offices into electronic ones
Mid-level EHRs will have additional "accessories"
Advanced EHRs will be intelligent and shared
ACTIONS
EHR vendors should extend the functionality of their solutions
through partnerships
Vendors must work towards interoperability or be left behind
EHRs should focus on key capabilities, not extraneous features,
and value
