As the adoption of Electronic Medical Records heats up, it is good advise to consider that EMR and EHR adoption is a process, not a simple software product. "Meaningful Use" and its criteria is a evolving work in progress. EMR providers and physician users should anticipate, not merely react to future EMR functionality.
Three applications come to mind that a EMR system should offer or have planned: Personal Health Records (PHR), Disease Management and Preventative care. Throw in "enhanced e-Prescribing" functionality so the drug companies can keep patients compliant and refilling those meds!
Personal Health Records will be desired by patients so that we can all access our PHR "Anywhere, Anytime, On Demand".
Disease Management (DM) is a module which serves to identify at risk patients, regular reporting of their conditions and changes, patient education/follow up and incentives for compliance and adhering to reporting DM criteria.
