I think this is very comprehensive as a step process of achieving practice useful EHR implementation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also feel that this EHR jungle without quality products is going to make the life of practices very difficult. Though you provide them with many comparisons grids, in most cases they may end up with an EHR which does not support the needs of its speciality. I believe an &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.waitingroomsolutions.com/wrs/specialty-main.html&amp;quot;&amp;gt;speciality"&gt;www.waitingroomsolutions.com/.../specialty-main.html&amp;quot;&amp;gt;speciality&lt;/a&gt; based EHR&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; combined with appropriate certifications is the way ahead. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the federal efforts of providing the right &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.waitingroomsolutions.com/wrs/arra-stimulus-money-44k-arra-emr-stimulus-bill-arra-ehr-stimulus-incentives&amp;quot;&amp;gt;incentives&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;"&gt;www.waitingroomsolutions.com/.../a&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt; to practices who implement certified EHR&amp;#39;s &amp;nbsp; following the appropriate &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.waitingroomsolutions.com/wrs/arra-stimulus-money-44k-arra-emr-stimulus-bill-arra-ehr-stimulus-incentives#meaningful_use_EHR&amp;gt;federal"&gt;www.waitingroomsolutions.com/.../arra-stimulus-money-44k-arra-emr-stimulus-bill-arra-ehr-stimulus-incentives&lt;/a&gt; guidelines&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; is a great initiative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also the introduction of REC’s through the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.waitingroomsolutions.com/wrs/regional-extension-centers-arra-rec#Regional_Extension_Centers_ARRA&amp;quot;&amp;gt;HITECH"&gt;www.waitingroomsolutions.com/.../regional-extension-centers-arra-rec&lt;/a&gt; act.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; is a great way to avail of quality EHR solutions at competitive prices. The stiff competition among not only these REC’s but also among EHR vendors ( to become a preferred vendor of a given REC) will result in lot of positives to medical practioners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I found a neatly compiled &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.waitingroomsolutions.com/wrs/guide-purchase-emr&amp;quot;&amp;gt;guide"&gt;www.waitingroomsolutions.com/.../guide-purchase-emr&amp;quot;&amp;gt;guide&lt;/a&gt; for the purchase of any EHR&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For instance, we formerly used Medical Manager. When Medical Manager forced us to only use their claims scripts for EDI, we found several 3rd party solutions. We even got unsolicited mail from these companies offering to sell us cheaper and better scripts. When Medical Manager dropped support for version 9, we purchased it from a place called &amp;#39;Final Support&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you look around, you will find independent 3rd party places that can work on Centricity, NextGen, eClinicalWorks, A4 etc, and extract information for migration to a different EMR.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Choosing a player that has significant market share can mitigate against the company leaving the market. Most bigger players would also be expected to &amp;#39;sell&amp;#39; their product to somebody else who would then be able to migrate to a newer product, or spawn 3rd party conversions to newer competing products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That being said, converting to a new EMR will be an unpleasant experience no matter what. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How many programs from 20 years ago are you still using today?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Visicalc, Lotus 123?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WordStar? MultiMate ? Turbo Pascal ?&lt;/p&gt;
