Great interview - very informational. An out-of-the-box architecture and some fresh thinking on the approach. It fits the way many physicians natively think. I believe many have just been beaten into submission by many IT products that don't match their workflows and they don't push back against the traditional wrote "dumb" template. In a larger organization, they just rebel. In a smaller practice where they own it, they just don't use the product or continue to dictate without using the full capabilities of the application (ex: alerts, clinical reminders) because of the lack of enough discrete data entry. In the small physician market space, I too see the dichotomy. In the small practices, many electronic medical records only capture a very limited amount of discrete data (ex: labs, meds, diagnoses, procedures, vitals) and free text/script or scan/image the rest. Orders and referals, for all intents and purposes, are nothing more than a glorified scratch pad. The integration with other physicians' medical records systems do not exist. Aw shucks - I forgot to use the national definitions! Wow! Great interview – very informational. An out-of-the-box architecture and some fresh thinking on the approach.
