Book excerpt: Despite the significant benefits of electronic medical records, organizations continue to struggle with successful technology adoption. Beyond Implementation examines the primary reason for poor and failed EMR adoption, explores real-world results from large healthcare organizations, and reveals a new approach for successful adoption and lasting value. The authors, Dr. Heather Haugen and Dr. Jeffrey Woodside, have witnessed the outcomes of poor adoption and are committed to helping organizations successfully adopt an EMR system. Through actual case studies and research, the book investigates the barriers that keep physicians from making EMR part of their routines. The key premise: a myopic focus on go-live implementation impedes the adoption and long-term sustainment of EMR.
