I'll speak to that first.
I'm still a dinosaur. As much as I love technology, I still have a non-EMR system in my office. However, one of the reasons I've held out is that I'm going to be relocating my practice to a new building within our community just down the street. It's going to open up next year, and I'm going to make the transition then, because it makes sense to do the transition all at once.
But I will say that I held back a little bit because I heard from lots of my colleagues about lots of bugs that had to be worked out. I'm glad now that I held out, because I think the state of the art is good enough for me to be able to manage it.
It's not the same as a family doctor, where it might be very similar practice to practice; a cardiologist in Barrie is going to be a bit different from a cardiologist in Newmarket, who's going to be different from a cardiologist in Toronto. I needed an EMR that could fit my own personal needs.
