EMR Customization: is it important?

So far in my experience as an EMR developer, I’ve found that every customer has some unique wants and needs. I don’t feel that any out of the box solution can accomplish everything. EMR that is adaptable and flexible will always be in demand. This isn’t to say that there isn’t a place for out of the box programs, but a good company should be able to do both.

Consumers have come to expect custom products that can be individualized to their specific tastes. Car manufacturers, shoe companies, watch makers, eye glass vendors and bicycle brands are a few examples of this push. Apple prides itself on listening to its customers in shaping its product development. The companies that don’t do this become a thing of the past.

So in my estimation, customization is critical to EMR adoption and survival. Letting the customer be right, profits both parties. Be wary of overly rigid systems that can’t change quickly with ever evolving times.
