Competition between Cerner and Epic is well known in the health care industry. True interoperability will not be achieved until competitors put aside their differences and work together.

SHC mission was to care, to educate, and to discover for the benefit of patients and larger community. Multiple problems and opportunities were present within the organization’s IT infrastructure that needed to be resolved before implementing an EMR system. The case stated, “In the early 2000s, SHC was in no shape to support an EMR system comparable to other healthcare groups” (Denend & Zenios, 2010). They needed to fix their existing IT infrastructure in order to resolve network, security, and regulatory compliance (HIPPA) issues. After addressing these concerns, they could focus on a solution for an EMR system. The strategic motivation behind implementing an EMR system was to reduce cost, meet competitive (internal and external) pressures, improve

However, there’s an enormous amount of money involved to acquire these advanced EHR systems. There are fears of losing the capital investment. According to Prasad (2013), “better medicine means stable business.” With EHRs capability to provide efficient healthcare services, it is helping in containing the healthcare cost. However, some CFOs have looked beyond the financial gains of the EHR implementation. “You have to look beyond that to the intangible benefits, the improvements in delivery care and position your organization to be competitive in the future” (“ROI: Look beyond,” n.d.). Indeed, EHR is a long-term investment for HCOs with a great promise for future
American novelist and author of The Natural Bernard Malamud once said, “Without heroes, we are all plain people and don't know how far we can go” (Brainy Quote). The Natural features a young baseball phenom named Roy Hobbs as the story’s hero. His journey to become an aspiring baseball player for the Chicago Cubs is cut short as he meets multiple enemies that bring his dream to a halt. Later in his career, Roy returns to baseball as a player for the New York Knights where he encounters even more obstacles. On top of all his struggles, Roy has a bad tendency to fall in love with women who will hurt him and distract him from becoming the hero he is supposed to live up to. In the end, he fails to amount to anything great and loses his chance

1) eClinicalWorks is a Massachussetts-based company the designs Electronic Health Record (EMR) software for health care professionals. The best part is that the design of this software is physician-led. So, it helps with the transitioning of practices into a rapidly changing era of health care.
Electronic Health Records (EHR), is a similar system but does more than an EMR in the sense of collecting clinical data, but is designed to reach out to other healthcare providers that originally collected and compiled the patient’s health information. EHRS can share information with other providers such as laboratories, specialists, and other physicians which help to prevent medical errors and better serve the patient since all clinicians involved information is available through the EHR. (Lighter, Donald E (2011). According to The National Alliance for Health Information Technology, EHR data “can be created, managed, and consulted by authorized clinicians and

I spoke with the Director of Informatics, Dorothy Vanderweil, to learn how our hospital addressed the implementation of an EHR. Dorothy was able to tell me how they assessed readiness, planned their approach, selected a certified EHR, and conducted training and implementation of the EHR. HMC assessed the specific flow of each department. At the start, they discovered there were individual needs for each department. They then assessed which departments could consolidate to share work flow. They evaluated the need for training of individuals and found many staff could barely use a mouse. HMC determined which devices would best suited when documenting in the EHR, along with how many devices were needed. The planning then began and the decision was made to use the C5 tablet for documenting. Of course, they needed to know the cost involved with the procurement of these devices. Decisions were made as to how and what they wanted to be able to view and chart. Since they were moving from paper charting there was no data integration to be concerned about. They formulated a plan for training including the adoption of super users for extra support during the first few months of going live. They selected Cerner as the EHR system to implement. Once all staff were trained and physicians as well, a decision was made to go live. By January 2010 HMC was ready and implemented the EHR certified system Cerner. Go live was very well planned with extra staff
Choosing an EHR system that would accomplish all the required functions of the newly combined system was arguably the most important decision of the transition. The system chosen was eClinicalWorks (ECW). This allowed for a combination of all the needed departments such as medical, dental, and recovery services into one large on-line system.
