If you currently have your own EMR system, but Microsoft broadened HealthVault into a FREE, full scope, physician on line EMR, would you abandon your EMR and use HealthVault instead?
#Response DateOther (please specify)
1.11/8/2007 12:27:00 AMdont have an emr currently
2.11/12/2007 7:52:00 PMDon't know
3.11/12/2007 8:57:00 PMdon't have (or need) EMR
4.11/14/2007 1:41:00 PMour health system has it own database
5.11/14/2007 3:00:00 PMour EMR is our official hospital medical record. we HAVE to use somethign to document our visits.
6.11/14/2007 4:49:00 PMmay be
7.11/14/2007 5:00:00 PMDoesn't apply
8.11/14/2007 5:19:00 PMdont know
9.11/14/2007 5:30:00 PMWould need lots or other capabilities (billing, demographics, quality, etc.)
10.11/14/2007 7:48:00 PMit is not the same purpose. Microsoft EMR would help me to follow patients, but it will not replace MY EMR because the patient who enter data are not the same
11.11/14/2007 8:49:00 PMThere is a steep learning curve in transitioning from one EMR to anotherThe time involved in the process is non productive re: caring for sick people.
12.11/15/2007 1:37:00 AMwould need to trial the system.
13.11/15/2007 1:19:00 PMmaybe
14.11/15/2007 4:29:00 PMI work in a large system (academic) with an evolving integrated EMR system.
15.11/15/2007 4:41:00 PMpotentially, after I have experience with it
16.11/16/2007 3:29:00 AMdo not have an EMR.
17.11/16/2007 4:18:00 AMn/a
18.11/16/2007 5:41:00 PMI work within an academic medical center. Not my decision.
19.11/19/2007 1:30:00 PMmaybe
20.11/19/2007 1:37:00 PMnot sure
21.11/19/2007 1:51:00 PMN/A
22.11/19/2007 2:36:00 PMour hospital would have to decide this
23.11/19/2007 3:41:00 PMn/a
24.11/19/2007 7:01:00 PMdon't have system yet
25.11/19/2007 8:07:00 PMI am at an academic medical institution - they would make that decision. We have an EMR.
26.11/19/2007 8:11:00 PMDon't have EMR.
27.11/19/2007 10:14:00 PMperhaps
28.11/20/2007 1:06:00 AMna
29.11/20/2007 1:36:00 AMI don't currently use such a system.
30.11/20/2007 5:36:00 AMI do not currently have my own EMR system. If I did I probably would abandon mine to use Health Vault
31.11/20/2007 3:14:00 PMnot applicable
32.11/20/2007 8:39:00 PMAm not sure. I work in an institution, and may be bound by their recommendations.
33.11/22/2007 4:20:00 PMWould certainly consider based on the functionality and flexibility of the HeathVault system.
34.11/22/2007 4:41:00 PMpossibly
35.11/22/2007 4:55:00 PMpossibly
36.11/22/2007 5:11:00 PMpossibly, would have to see it in action
37.11/22/2007 5:16:00 PMNot neccessarily
38.11/22/2007 5:23:00 PMdon't own
39.11/22/2007 5:39:00 PMdo not have an emr
40.11/22/2007 5:44:00 PMn/a
41.11/22/2007 5:48:00 PMIt depends!
42.11/22/2007 6:01:00 PMWe dont currently have an EMR system
43.11/22/2007 6:03:00 PMdon't currently have one
44.11/22/2007 6:28:00 PMWe would have to sit down and discuss this aspect fully before I could truthfully answer this question.
45.11/22/2007 6:37:00 PMI am part of a larger, hospital-based system
46.11/22/2007 6:50:00 PMmy EMR is health system wide, so I dont have authority to do so
47.11/22/2007 6:53:00 PMWould depend on integrative ability of HealthVault system
48.11/22/2007 6:59:00 PMYes but unlike it will be my individual choice of whther or not the system makes that decision. I have always found microsofts products more technologically adavanced and more user friendly than those created or purchased by my institution.
49.11/22/2007 7:15:00 PMDepends on functionality. In addition, my EMR is supported by a large hospital system.
50.11/22/2007 7:20:00 PMmaybe. it would depend on the ease of use and security
51.11/22/2007 7:21:00 PMdepends on all capabilities. would need lab x-ray access, alerts etc. also billing scheduling functions
52.11/22/2007 7:44:00 PMNA
53.11/22/2007 8:17:00 PMI am a hospital-based physician on Epic, and would not have that option.
54.11/22/2007 8:40:00 PMNeeds tight integration with order entry, result reporting, pharmacy interaction, satety checking, patient communication, practice management utilities, scheduling. I.E. and Enterprise Grade Integrated EHR.
55.11/22/2007 9:02:00 PMUnlikely, as EMR systems are hideously expensive and take 1-3 years to &quot;break in&quot;&amp; use smoothly
56.11/22/2007 9:17:00 PMI dpn't currently have a system
57.11/22/2007 9:19:00 PMHow does HealthVault handle sensitive information such as HIV results, drug testing results, psychiatric information?
58.11/22/2007 9:36:00 PMprobably not because of the need to change over the records I currently have as well as our system is integrated with practice management
59.11/22/2007 10:08:00 PMDepends on how well the new emr worked
60.11/22/2007 11:10:00 PMdon't know enough
61.11/22/2007 11:22:00 PMmaybe
62.11/23/2007 12:01:00 AMmight be interested if all currently stored information could be moved to new system easily
63.11/23/2007 12:08:00 AMMaybe
64.11/23/2007 12:10:00 AMWould need more information
65.11/23/2007 12:29:00 AMI would have to evaluate the software.
66.11/23/2007 12:41:00 AMit would depend on the functionality offered by Healthvault and whether I am satisfied with my current EMR
67.11/23/2007 12:42:00 AMdon't have EMR
68.11/23/2007 12:49:00 AMThat would depend on how the security concerns are addressed
69.11/23/2007 1:04:00 AMpartners would probably not agree and our EMR is not micrsoft freindly
70.11/23/2007 1:15:00 AMdepends on ease of use and COST
71.11/23/2007 1:16:00 AMProbably yes, if the EMR is pediatrician-friendly (I am a pediatrician)
72.11/23/2007 1:20:00 AMprobably not
73.11/23/2007 1:48:00 AMPossibly--I would have to get more info before making that decision
74.11/23/2007 2:09:00 AMDon't know
75.11/23/2007 2:50:00 AMDo not have EMR
76.11/23/2007 3:29:00 AMI do not presently have EMR.
77.11/23/2007 3:40:00 AMNot unless it was integrated with our internal system. Also, I'm sure the &quot;leadership&quot; of our hospital would find regulatory barriers to doing so. And, they **must** have their reports!
78.11/23/2007 3:41:00 AMI might
79.11/23/2007 3:42:00 AMmaybe I would have to see how it performs, and ease of use etc.
80.11/23/2007 4:18:00 AMi don't know
81.11/23/2007 6:24:00 AMmay be
82.11/23/2007 6:32:00 AMnot my decision nut probably not
83.11/23/2007 8:22:00 AMProbably, it depends on the ability to migrate data without losing granularity.
84.11/23/2007 12:57:00 PMWOuld need to see how it operated
85.11/23/2007 1:16:00 PMprobably not, we like DigiChart, it is specific for OBGYN, and we have a large investment in it.
86.11/23/2007 1:50:00 PMdon't know about it
87.11/23/2007 2:04:00 PMna
88.11/23/2007 2:11:00 PMToo vested in and required to use the one I currently use
89.11/23/2007 2:20:00 PMMy multi-multi-physician employer probably would not, but small employers likely would
90.11/23/2007 2:24:00 PMDo not currently have EMR.
91.11/23/2007 2:24:00 PMPossibly
92.11/23/2007 2:27:00 PMpossibly
93.11/23/2007 2:30:00 PMn/a
94.11/23/2007 3:07:00 PMdon't have an EMR system
95.11/23/2007 3:12:00 PMmaybe
96.11/23/2007 3:35:00 PMDepends on what my institution did.
97.11/23/2007 3:43:00 PMnot sure
98.11/23/2007 3:57:00 PMI would consider it. It is premature for you to ask for a Yes/No answer to this question.
99.11/23/2007 3:57:00 PMI will not use any EMR system that is general and web-based because I have a primary responsibility for confidentiality.
100.11/23/2007 4:27:00 PMN/A
101.11/23/2007 4:56:00 PMnot applicable yet
102.11/23/2007 5:01:00 PMNot sure, would need to evaluate functionality of system vs. requirements
103.11/23/2007 5:24:00 PMI don't know. I'm just learning our EMR.
104.11/23/2007 6:00:00 PMwe do not have an EMR ast this time
105.11/23/2007 6:59:00 PMIt would depend on its functionality and data access and control issues
106.11/23/2007 7:06:00 PMNeed to have more information
107.11/23/2007 7:24:00 PMDepends on ease of use and if it fills my need, but I definitely would consider it
108.11/23/2007 7:30:00 PMIt would depend on how easy/awkward the whole system may be
109.11/23/2007 7:36:00 PMSignificant analysis of the options would need to be done.
110.11/23/2007 8:02:00 PMDepends upon the resource requirements, the ease of conversion, the interoperabiity with others in my network
111.11/23/2007 8:56:00 PMI don't know
112.11/23/2007 9:55:00 PMdon't have EMR
113.11/23/2007 10:59:00 PMI am in a university. Not my decision.
114.11/24/2007 12:15:00 AMI have to use whatever the hospital says to use.
115.11/24/2007 12:19:00 AMN/A
116.11/24/2007 12:24:00 AMdon't have own EMR
117.11/24/2007 12:39:00 AMIf I could; but it is not my decision to make.It would have to be approved by the HIPAA Compliance Officer, the Risk Manager, the Health Information Management Dept.,Hospital Administration, Corporate Management; and initiated through the I.T.Officer. I may have forgotten some steps, committees &amp; professional organizations, C.M.S., and state &amp; federal legislatures.
118.11/24/2007 2:18:00 AMdon't have EMR
119.11/24/2007 4:27:00 AMDepends on the user interfaces. It would be extremely unlikely that the healthcare system that employs me would abandon the EMR we use unless a) HealthVault was superior, and included elements beyond recordkeeping (labs, radiology, order entry, electronic prescribing), and b) it was widely adopted as part of an initiative to regionalize care
120.11/24/2007 5:37:00 AMI haven't seen healthvault, so, how would I know.
121.11/24/2007 5:58:00 AMpossibly, I'm part of a large health care system, it would depend on their adoption of the record
122.11/24/2007 6:58:00 AMNOT SURE. DIFFERENT SPECIALTIES HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS. ALSO, WOULD I STILL HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER WHO HAS ACCESS TO MY PATIENTS RECORDS, IE INSURANCE COMPANIES, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES, LIFE INSURERS, DEA, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, STATE MEDICAL BOARD, HOSPITALS, COMPETITOR PHYSICIANS OR HEALTH GROUPS, LAWYERS, ETC??
123.11/24/2007 12:48:00 PMI don't have an EMR
124.11/24/2007 2:49:00 PMna
125.11/24/2007 3:29:00 PMdepends
126.11/24/2007 3:35:00 PMMaybe - again the liability issues are tantamount to this being successful. There may be problems with a physician being candid about their findings and the issue of confusing medical terminology unknown to the patient resulting in excessive time spent &quot;straightening things out&quot;.
127.11/24/2007 5:51:00 PMI don't think the healthcare system would allow it.
128.11/24/2007 7:12:00 PMPossibly
129.11/24/2007 7:50:00 PMDon't have EMR
130.11/24/2007 11:48:00 PMnot applicable
131.11/25/2007 1:37:00 AMNot sure
132.11/25/2007 1:55:00 AMNot sure
133.11/25/2007 2:53:00 AMI use Praxis. It is the only object-oriented program among the EMRs. I don't want another Vista.
134.11/25/2007 3:57:00 AMPossibly
135.11/25/2007 3:02:00 PMnot sure
136.11/25/2007 3:15:00 PMcann't tell
137.11/25/2007 4:33:00 PMmaybe
138.11/25/2007 6:54:00 PM?
139.11/25/2007 8:13:00 PMnot my decision
140.11/25/2007 8:16:00 PMI work for an HMO, so the EMR is systemwide
141.11/26/2007 1:08:00 AMdon't have emr
142.11/26/2007 1:59:00 AMna
143.11/26/2007 3:35:00 AMdont have one
144.11/26/2007 5:27:00 AMDonot have same
145.11/26/2007 11:04:00 AMi'm employed by a large healthcare system and have no ability to abandon the current system
146.11/26/2007 2:47:00 PMDepends on what MSFT offers - but probably not.
147.11/26/2007 3:09:00 PMpossibly if it were free and worked well
148.11/26/2007 5:16:00 PMn/a
149.11/26/2007 6:26:00 PMI don't have an EMR system.
150.11/26/2007 6:52:00 PMNot enough information at this time
151.11/26/2007 9:42:00 PMI would consider that.
152.11/26/2007 11:55:00 PMNo, because I work at a University where I don;t decide on the EMR, but I would support a transition if I could be satisfied that HealthVault is at least as secure as the current system
153.11/27/2007 1:16:00 AMnot sure
154.11/27/2007 1:42:00 AMunsure
155.11/27/2007 2:13:00 AMI would have to learn more about it to make that kind of decision.
156.11/27/2007 2:32:00 AMmaybe, depending....but I would be more interested since I don't currently have an EMR
157.11/27/2007 2:40:00 AMI do not own an EMR system.
158.11/27/2007 1:06:00 PMOur sysytem is very specific for OB/GYN
159.11/27/2007 8:20:00 PMDON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT
160.11/28/2007 2:55:00 PMI'm not sure. The Medical Center for which I work would make that decision.
161.11/28/2007 9:02:00 PMI work in a safety net system where the majority of our patients do not use or have online access.
162.11/29/2007 9:17:00 PMWary of web-based systems
163.11/29/2007 11:05:00 PMn/a
164.12/2/2007 8:44:00 AMnot sure
