When you ’re looking to buy or replace your EHR, follow these common sense Dos and Don’ts for comparing EHR software
By some accounts, almost 30% of EHR users will be interested in replacing their software as they move from Meaningful Use Stage 1 to 2 to 3 over the next few years.

Patient portals have a future as a patient engagement tool if clinicians are on board and encourage their use
I wrote my first patient portal site, built into my first EMR software, back in 1998. At that time I mistakenly thought that portals would take off and patients would embrace them. What I quickly learned was that patient portals aren ’t really portals in the sense of Yahoo! or Google but enterprise software’s customer-facing front-ends. The enterprise software in this case is of course an EHR and the customers are the patients. (Source: The Healthcare IT Guy)

If patients are the consumers then their expectations are that they can conduct “business” with the practice through the portal. This means messaging, getting questions answer...

How to improve your SRS by distinguishing between vague and ambiguous requirements in health IT and medical device systems
Because it ’s so easy to build software these days we’re seeing a proliferation of healthcare apps — what’s hard to figure out is whether we’re building the right software. Abder-Rahman Ali, currently pursuing his Medical Image Analysis Ph.D. in France, has graciously agreed to give us advice on how to write good software specifications for health and medical technology solutions. Some of you are probably rolling your eyes and thinking that software requirements specifications (SRS) are old and “tired” and we should be writing agile user stories instead.

ENGAGE can help pharma and biotech learn how to benefit from patient engagement
Patient engagement is something that physicians have done for thousands of years as they cared for patients (whether going to their homes or having them come to hospitals or clinics). With new digital health technologies the way providers can engage with patients is changing significantly but we’re not quite sure about the best ways to apply that technology. This is why I’m looking forward to attending MedCityNews.com’s ENGAGE conference next week in Washington, DC. (Source: The Healthcare IT Guy)
