Medical Records mimic iPhone?
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009So I ranted about the lack of options on the iPhone originally, and then Apple responded and fixed most of the issues. Now there’s a set of physicians who are advocating that the new Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems try and learn from the iPhone’s mistakes. That’s a great idea.
Single-vendor systems, whether phone, EHR, or ERP, all suffer from the issues described in the article. I haven’t heard a single person proclaim how wonderful it is to work with the customization teams or how they had a choice of what apps would work for their businesses. And I work with plenty of IT types, who share their opinions freely. None.
Wait, I have heard tell of one good system… NetSuite. They apparently are becoming the same kind of platform. I’ve never worked with them – anyone have experience and can corroborate the mutterings?
