		<title>EMR: can it be feng shui?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a recent article by the Washington Post dated 10/25/09 it highlighted some of the darker sides of EMR. In particular, it underscored physician dissatisfaction with the user unfriendly nature of many programs. It also pointed out that some products took longer than their paper replacements and weren&#8217;t completely error free. Design issues were at [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Power of Choice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Be the change that you want to see in the world.”                                                          Mahatma Gandhi   I think that most people don’t feel that they make much difference in the large scheme of things. The world seems much too big to really affect anything. So why really try or even care?   I’m just as guilty [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Dare Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It never occurs to me to shy away from a challenge. Maybe I’m foolish or possibly just wired that way. When someone brings a problem to me, all I see is a solution.  I think some people are destined to try for something despite the odds. The following quote strikes a chord with me: It [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Downside of EMR as a Service</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Software as a service has firmly planted itself into the very fabric of the internet and daily computing.  EMRs are beginning to venture into this new territory.  At first glance it makes logical sense. It is cheaper and easier to access in many ways. It sometimes comes free. It doesn’t take up valuable hard drive [...]]]></description>

		<title>EMR: Is it worth the investment without the stimulus package?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is an important question for me. I believe that EMR products should be able to stand on their own from an investment perspective. Otherwise, government subsidies just delay inevitable failures. The stimulus package can provide needed startup funds, but if the program has faults and inefficiencies, then problems will surface. Judging EMRs on their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breach Penalties: has Armageddon arrived?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Has the government gone too far?   The newly enacted laws related to violations of privacy and security has reached unprecedented levels.  With penalties as high as $1.5 million dollars and 10 years in prison, one must take serious pause before installing an electronic medical record system.  The penalties for even inadvertent mistakes start at $250,000 [...]]]></description>

		<title>EMR Customization: is it important?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time is Money!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[                    Although this seems self evident, many physicians struggle with time management. I see many doctors who say they will just do some of the office tasks to “save money.”  I recently read a blog from a psychiatrist in solo practice who had no support staff!  That means he is doing all of the office [...]]]></description>

		<title>Psychiatrists- a breed unto themselves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    There is a subset of psychiatrists that are sort of like cats; they resist herding. Psychiatrists tend to be fiercely independent and solitary. However, like other specialties, they also will form cohesive groups. Designing practice software for this demographic presents some unique challenges as a result.  Any EMR program for psychiatrists must be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is there a dark side to cloud computing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[      Cloud computing is all the buzz these days!  Various entities are jumping on the bandwagon, touting its virtues. It is the next great thing. Well, in attempting to understand cloud computing, I discovered it still is in the process of being defined and comes in many forms and varieties.  If there is [...]]]></description>

Read the following except from Cradle to Cradle by William McDonough &#38; Michael Braungart, Chapter One p18: “Imagine that you have been given the assignment of designing the Industrial Revolution—retrospectively. With respect to its negative consequences, the assignment would have to read something like this: Design [...]]]></description>

		<title>The five signs you have lost control of your practice.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[David A. Kent, M.D. You are losing a ton of money staying in the paper world. Practice overhead can be an unchecked plague. In the paper world, it takes a lot of time and money just to understand the time and money. Paper based systems are prehistoric and it amazes me how inefficient medical businesses [...]]]></description>

		<title>ChartShare &#8211; EMR Practice Software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the future of your practice. While every EMR claims to be “developed by physicians,” the real truth is that the vast majority of EMR’s are built by computer engineers according to their own vision of the patient management process. Conversely, the thrust behind ChartShare is Dr. David Kent, MD, a veteran psychiatrist who [...]]]></description>
