Some 37 percent said lack of support from medical staff was another major hurdle. The survey examined results collected from 759 provider groups, including large hospitals, small practices and integrated health delivery organizations. Other major barriers cited include respondents' inability to find an EMR solution or components at an affordable cost (32 percent); difficulty in finding a solution that is not fragmented among vendors or IT platforms (30 percent); difficulty in creating a migration plan from paper to electronic health records (29 percent); inability to find an EMR solution that meets the individual provider's application or technical requirements (27 percent); and inadequate or incomplete healthcare information standards or code sets (23 percent). In spite of the obstacles, a strong majority of respondents--nearly 83 percent--acknowledge that EMR systems can help improve workflow. Another 78 percent said such systems can help improve clinical documentation to support appropriate billing service levels, and 77 percent said EMRs will help to improve patient safety.
