If you currently do NOT have an EMR system, would you use a FREE, full scope physician on line EMR provided by Microsoft, and upload your medical records to a secure web server, assuming patients gave you permission to do that?

2.11/12/2007 8:57:00 PMdon't know1
3.11/14/2007 1:41:00 PMour health system has it own database
4.11/14/2007 5:30:00 PMWouls need a way to finance the transfer of file information
5.11/14/2007 7:48:00 PMNA
6.11/14/2007 8:49:00 PMPossibly if I did not,but i do. The important unsolved problem is interoperability between and among the countless systems out there. And there needs to be a continuous non-intrusive upgrading as new technology or ways of using it come along.

12.11/16/2007 4:18:00 AMpossibly
13.11/19/2007 1:37:00 PMnot sure
14.11/19/2007 2:00:00 PMOur material is governed by more complex statutes than regular medical records.
15.11/19/2007 3:58:00 PMif would have to be a group decision for practice and based on economics
16.11/19/2007 7:01:00 PMpossibley
17.11/20/2007 8:39:00 PMSame as above. Would certainly do it with the green light from our institution, including review by our legal office
18.11/22/2007 4:55:00 PMpossibly
19.11/22/2007 5:04:00 PMPossibly, with more info on who has access to what
20.11/22/2007 5:23:00 PMnot sure
21.11/22/2007 5:39:00 PMdepends on the ease of using the system
22.11/22/2007 5:44:00 PMnot in practice
23.11/22/2007 5:48:00 PMAgain, there are a lot of &quot;it depends.&quot;
24.11/22/2007 5:54:00 PMmaybe
25.11/22/2007 6:01:00 PMIf secure
26.11/22/2007 6:05:00 PMdepends on dificulty and time needed to install and learn the system
27.11/22/2007 6:14:00 PMI don't know
28.11/22/2007 6:28:00 PMI have one, so I cannot comment on this.
29.11/22/2007 6:37:00 PMI would support this within our system
30.11/22/2007 6:50:00 PMhave an EMR
31.11/22/2007 6:59:00 PMI do have a EMR. However, if I didn't, I would use it. As I work for an academic edical center, I will not have the option of doing so but would support doing so.
32.11/22/2007 7:15:00 PMNA
33.11/22/2007 7:23:00 PMdon't know
34.11/22/2007 7:30:00 PMhave an EMR
35.11/22/2007 8:16:00 PMwould need to trial and see how user friendly
36.11/22/2007 8:40:00 PMIn order to appeal, maximum benefit will accrue when Clinical Record is integrated with Ordering/Resulting, Scheduling, Practice Management. Achieve administrative needs in the course of care, not as a separate event. Take work orff my plate.
37.11/22/2007 8:56:00 PM\do not know enough about the system
38.11/22/2007 9:36:00 PMn/a
39.11/22/2007 10:08:00 PMI work for a large organization. It would be their decision
40.11/23/2007 12:01:00 AMNA
41.11/23/2007 12:29:00 AMI would have to evaluate the software and any attached licenses.
42.11/23/2007 12:41:00 AMit would depend on the functionality of the free EMR
43.11/23/2007 12:49:00 AMSee 14
44.11/23/2007 1:16:00 AMProbably yes, if the EMR is pediatrician-friendly (I am a pediatrician)
45.11/23/2007 1:20:00 AMpossibly, need more information
46.11/23/2007 1:48:00 AMI have an EMR system already
47.11/23/2007 2:09:00 AMDon't know
48.11/23/2007 2:15:00 AMn/a
49.11/23/2007 3:40:00 AMI'm a hospital employee. The MBA's who run my life &amp; know more about health care than me would never tolerate the loss of control.
50.11/23/2007 3:41:00 AMnot applicable - I have an EMR
51.11/23/2007 3:42:00 AMmaybe, see answer to 14
52.11/23/2007 4:01:00 AMNot applicable
53.11/23/2007 4:18:00 AMperhaps
54.11/23/2007 5:17:00 AMN/A
55.11/23/2007 6:32:00 AMn/a
56.11/23/2007 7:34:00 AMn/a
57.11/23/2007 8:22:00 AMI have an EMR. However, that means as an &quot;expert&quot; user, I will be aware if MS can create a &quot;better tool&quot; for EMR.
58.11/23/2007 12:33:00 PMmay be
59.11/23/2007 1:04:00 PMNA
60.11/23/2007 1:16:00 PMNA
61.11/23/2007 1:30:00 PMn/a
62.11/23/2007 2:05:00 PMWould not get rid of my system now, ubt could consider if it is free and what it involves
63.11/23/2007 2:11:00 PMImagine maybe yes
64.11/23/2007 2:20:00 PMsee question 14 comment
65.11/23/2007 2:24:00 PMDepending on how this is designed.
66.11/23/2007 2:30:00 PMI still have major concerns about internet security, particularly in respect to insurance industry abuse.
67.11/23/2007 3:12:00 PMmaybe
68.11/23/2007 3:35:00 PMWould have to evaluate system more.
69.11/23/2007 3:57:00 PMI would consider it. It is premature for you to ask for a Yes/No answer to this question.
70.11/23/2007 4:18:00 PMdoes not apply
71.11/23/2007 4:56:00 PMdepends on ease of use and applicability to my practice
72.11/23/2007 5:01:00 PMNot sure, would need to evaluate functionality of system vs. requirements and security
73.11/23/2007 6:00:00 PMYes
74.11/23/2007 7:24:00 PMI would consider it
75.11/23/2007 7:30:00 PMIt would depend on how easy/awkward the whole system may be. I don't buy pig in the poke.
76.11/23/2007 7:48:00 PMwe have our own emr system
77.11/23/2007 8:02:00 PMCurrently in the process of getting up on an EMR system. Not there yet
78.11/23/2007 8:56:00 PMI don't know
79.11/23/2007 9:19:00 PMNOT APPLICABLE
80.11/23/2007 10:05:00 PMN/A

83.11/24/2007 2:07:00 AMNA
84.11/24/2007 2:18:00 AMmaybe
85.11/24/2007 4:27:00 AMIn my off-campus clinic (currently on paper with dictated notes going to the EMR) a stellar EMR that made it easier to enter visit data would be helpful, but would likely run afoul of the university's privacy regulations.
86.11/24/2007 5:37:00 AMI have an EMR
87.11/24/2007 5:58:00 AMn/a
88.11/24/2007 6:58:00 AMI HAVE AN EMR
89.11/24/2007 12:48:00 PMIf the EMR was user friendly and I was assured there were no hidden charges
90.11/24/2007 3:20:00 PMneed to ;earn more about this before commenting either way
91.11/24/2007 3:29:00 PMdepends
92.11/24/2007 10:34:00 PMI use an EMR system.
93.11/24/2007 11:48:00 PMIf I have the time to do so
94.11/25/2007 1:37:00 AMNot sure
95.11/25/2007 1:38:00 AMWould consider it
96.11/25/2007 1:55:00 AMN/A
97.11/25/2007 3:57:00 AMPossibly
98.11/25/2007 2:40:00 PMEMR already fully implemented, not a fan of online or asp models
99.11/25/2007 4:33:00 PMmaybe
100.11/25/2007 5:59:00 PMalready have EMR
101.11/25/2007 6:54:00 PMIf it fits our needs
102.11/26/2007 1:08:00 AMneed more info on this system
103.11/26/2007 1:14:00 AMN/A
104.11/26/2007 2:04:00 AMMaybe, it depends on being able to get the data if Microsoft stops support
105.11/26/2007 3:03:00 AM(1) only if i get PAID VERY WELL , since the record will need careful editing (2) only if i'm held NOT LIABLE for any breach of security
106.11/26/2007 3:35:00 AMwould worry about securiy
107.11/26/2007 4:17:00 AMnot relevant as using my hospitals EMR now
108.11/26/2007 5:04:00 AMNA
109.11/26/2007 11:04:00 AMnot applicable
110.11/26/2007 12:25:00 PMMy Health care system has EMR.
111.11/26/2007 1:03:00 PMhave an internet based ob/gyn specific EMR digiChart OB/Gyn
112.11/26/2007 2:28:00 PMBelong to a teaching hospital
113.11/26/2007 2:47:00 PMMaybe.
114.11/26/2007 3:09:00 PMN/A
115.11/26/2007 3:58:00 PMPossibly, it would depend on comparing this system with others available
116.11/26/2007 5:16:00 PMif secure
117.11/26/2007 9:42:00 PMI would consider that.
118.11/26/2007 11:55:00 PMNA
119.11/27/2007 1:16:00 AMmaybe
120.11/27/2007 1:42:00 AMmaybe
121.11/27/2007 2:13:00 AMI would have to learn more about it to make that kind of decision.
122.11/27/2007 2:40:00 AMIt depends on how complicated the system is to learn and to run.
123.11/27/2007 3:55:00 AMThere is no way all of a physicians' patients would want their information on the web
124.11/27/2007 8:20:00 PMN/A
125.11/28/2007 2:55:00 PMWe are implementing one now so this doesn't apply.
126.11/28/2007 9:02:00 PMThere would still have to be a way for providers to protect certain assessments, comments that they feel are not appropriate for the patient to see unless physician was notified in advance/?permission?, ie mental health issue.
127.11/29/2007 5:38:00 PMwould need more information before considering
128.11/29/2007 9:17:00 PMSee above
129.11/29/2007 11:05:00 PMmaybe
130.11/30/2007 1:51:00 PMDepends on the TIME it takes to use the EMR. The most valuable commodity in the office is my TIME - if the EMR takes longer to chart than paper with check off boxes or a scribe, then it is too expensive even if it is free.
131.12/2/2007 8:44:00 AMN/A
132.12/2/2007 11:54:00 AMhave emr
