The Winds of Change Are Blowing in Healthcare IT! 🌬️ As we stand on the brink of 2025, the healthcare industry is poised for a monumental shift. The document "Why Classic EMR Vendors Will Be Replaced by OpenEHR and AI Agents Architectures" paints a vivid picture of the impending transformation in Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). It's clear that the traditional, monolithic EMR systems are facing their twilight, and the dawn of a new era is upon us. The Rise of OpenEHR and AI Agents The document highlights the limitations of current EMR systems, which have become barriers to innovation and progress. The introduction of OpenEHR and AI Agents promises a future where healthcare providers can focus more on patient care rather than administrative tasks. This shift is not just about technology; it's about redefining how healthcare professionals interact with technology, making it more intuitive and less cumbersome. A Call to Action for Healthcare Providers For those in the healthcare sector, this is a clarion call to embrace change. The document suggests that 2025 will be the year when we witness the downfall of traditional EMRs, making way for systems that are: - More Flexible: Allowing for seamless integration of new tools and technologies. - Patient-Centric: Enhancing patient outcomes through sophisticated data analysis. - Cost-Effective: Reducing administrative burdens and thereby cutting costs. Engage with the Future As we approach this pivotal year, here are some questions to ponder: - How prepared is your organization for this shift? - What steps can you take to ensure a smooth transition to OpenEHR and AI-driven systems? - How can we collectively work towards a healthcare system that truly benefits both providers and patients? Let's make 2025 the year we not only witness but actively participate in the transformation of healthcare IT. Acredia #HealthcareInnovation #OpenEHR #AIinHealthcare

Last week, I led efforts to initiate and implement an SLG within the EPIC EMR system 😎 (my 1️⃣st). An entire department has been facing specific issues for months, consistently calling in about the same problem. I thought, ‘Hey, this isn’t something that should be occurring consistently. Let’s see who I can get together to fix this.’ Couple phone calls and Teams messages… Boom 💥 I’ve gathered the Avengers and we are making progress 🔨 #IfICantFixItMySelfWhoCanHelpMe #HealthcareIT #EPIC

I have seven years' experience of being part of both successful and less successful #informedconsent implementations.

One of our hospitals is about to begin an Epic rollout. Please keep me in your thoughts during this difficult time. I'm no stranger to Epic -- been using it at another hospital for years. Epic updates and implementations are rapidly replacing Joint Commission visits as the most anxiety inducing hospital events. Epic as a brand has become synonymous with healthcare, on par with Tylenol, Band-Aid, and Ozempic. Epic and its EMR remind me of 90's era Microsoft and Windows. Companies using their market position to push a ubiquitous operating system that many find convoluted, cumbersome, and user unfriendly. Updates that add features no one asked for, bring unnecessary changes, and fix things that aren't broken. Extremely high switching costs that ensure continued dominance. MSFT and CEO Bill Gates were eventually called to the carpet by the DOJ -- a case that threatened to break up the company but was eventually settled. Particle Health is now suing Epic claiming monopoly status. The parallels between Epic EMR and MSFT Windows make for an interesting legal case study (alas, I'm no lawyer). To be fair, Epic isn't completely to blame. In many ways, mandated policies and procedures helped create the monster and continue to feed it. Medical records are supposed to be a repository of high value information facilitating communication and crafting a clear picture of a patient's history. Instead, they're lowered the barrier to over-protocolization, check-box policies that take away from patient care, and death by 1,000 clicks. Epic didn't create these problems, but it did facilitate them. It's not all bad with EMRs. We can't live in the past of paper charts (as efficient as they may be). But we are not leveraging technology to its best potential. What we have is a co-dependent relationship of technology and policy gone wild. MSFT ended up with a slap on the wrist, but Windows is no longer its flagship product. A post-PC era, ushered in by tablets and cellphones, changed the market. Will something similar happen to Epic and EMRs? Maybe. But we need to figure out how to use tech in healthcare to make things better, not worse. #medicine #healthcare #EMR #helath #healthcaretechnology #healthtech
