 There isn’t a physician out there, who isn’t aware that the federal government has mandated that all physicians must have an electronic record system in place by 2014 or suffer the financial consequences. Still, many physicians are reluctant to make the switch. For some it is simple a matter of procrastination, for others it is a lack confidence in their ability to pick a good system and implement it.

 Selecting an electronic medical record system is a complicated process. With so many different proprietary software choices available, it can be hard for a doctor to decide which package will work best for them. Further complicating the decision is the fact that the price of the software often doesn’t include the hardware upgrades and technical support necessary to bring the software online. Since the software itself represents a significant investment, it is no wonder that many physicians are reluctant to make the switch to electronic medical records.
There is another alternative to proprietary software systems, open source electronic medical record systems.

 Dictation is a necessary but time-consuming job. While dictation software has made the task a whole lot easier, most still require that the physician be in front of a computer for the duration of the dictation. Of course, this is a big step up from the days when physicians had to send tapes off to a transcription service.

 Small and mid-sized organizations are especially at risk when disaster strikes, since few have the resources or knowledge to develop full-scale continuity plans. Often, first actions are directed toward the protection of physical property. But more important than an organization’s physical property is ensuring the integrity of its data, communications capabilities and the information technology infrastructure to support both – regardless of the circumstances surrounding a disaster.
These habits are provided by CDW-G’s team of technology specialists and systems engineers, who are experts in evaluating and designing technology solutions for government agencies, educational institutions and healthcare facilities.
