A Major Problem with most Electronic Health Records  -   How do you use them out of the office?  You will hear answers from other companies like; "well, you just simply get a wireless Internet connection", or "when you are at the hospital, you can connect to the hospital's Wireless Network and then connect back to your office server".


That might would work if ALL hospitals offered wireless Internet and they would provide it throughout the entire hospital or you could get Wireless Internet that was as fast as Wired Internet that had good connectivity everywhere. But the reality of the matter is that if the EHR you are looking at only relies on those methods, then you are in trouble. They are simply NOT a good enough answer for EHR use out of the office.

The Number One Complaint from Physicians after they have purchased an EHR is the time it takes to Chart a Patient. When a physician realizes that their EHR does not save them time but rather increases the amount of time, many stop using it!
