A new article in Modern Healthcare stats that it’s not that that rare for EMRs to be deployed and then uninstalled-and that nearly 10 percent of installations fail outright. Slightly more than 8% of those surveyed indicated they’d ripped out their EMRs and gone back to paper, with 6% indicating the uprooting occurred in the past, while another 2% responded that they were now experiencing the reversion to paper. According to C. Peter Wagemann of the Medical Records Institute, said “when it comes to switching systems, the trend more often has been to downgrade to less-expensive, less-complicated EMRs than to more-expensive, complicated ones.”
