Medical Records Institute announces survey results
EHR Connection, October 22, 2007
Lack of adequate funding or resources is one of the major barriers to implementing EMR, according to the results of an annual poll by the Medical Records Institute (MRI), which announced the findings in an October 15 press release.
Other barriers to EMR implementation included anticipated difficulties in adopting an electronic system, difficulty in creating a plan to implement the change, and inability to find affordable solutions and components.
Nearly two-thirds of 819 participants whose responses were tallied identified themselves as having final or strong influence in EMR decisions. The total group of 1,011 survey participants had included vendors and consultants whose responses were deleted.
