OUR VIEW

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
