WHY EMR'S MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE "MAGIC TONIC" WE EXPECTED

  
 


Electronic Medical Records are seen as a “magic tonic” for health care.  But, according to Michael Victoroff, MD, current designs will not deliver the full expectations of this promise – safety, effectiveness, economy, accountability.  He predicts that broad EMR adoption will still leave practitioners and patients with plenty to complain about, including incomplete and inaccurate records, missed diagnoses, wrong treatments, fruitless investigations and poor advice given to patients.  Come to CHSM’s first program of 2008, and hear firsthand the warning that as health care professionals we need to re-think how we gather, manage and use personal health information.
