According to Emma Schwartz of The Huffington Post Investigative Fund buyer’s remorse is well within the realm of possibility as chiropractors enter the paperless EHR age. Her article discusses several scenarios where doctors had purchased EHRs and ultimately were left with a non-functioning software due to vendor bankruptcy. The fear among providers of this happening could curtail EHR adoption rates.
Apparently there was talk last year of the government somehow having EHR vendors prove their financial stability to lessen the likelihood of doctors getting @#&*, but the idea rightfully ended. However, just because the government is not going to do the math, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. EHR software implementation WILL BE a long term relationship, not simply a purchase, therefore, I recommend every doctor do a little homework on the vendor they wish to buy from and evaluate the company’s viability in the future. As for ACOM Health…the numbers say a lot!
