EHR Design Talk with Dr. Rick 1/23/12 (31 comments)
Vincente – I also agree that the approach that the government has taken to certification / MU (i.e. specification of functions to the nth degree) has been a counterproductive one (especially with regard to innovation) and has been un-necessarily burd [...] 		gravatar

Re: 1000 character limit. That is another reason why Quadramed CPR (which Dr Ofri uses at Bellevue) is not a “popular” EMR. Of note, that limit is only in the assessment/plan area in the problem list. If you just want to free text your note in the HP [...] 		gravatar
