This might be an easy one.\u00a0 Which really is the country\u2019s topmost EMR product?\u00a0<\/strong> 3 millions users and every technical accolades conceivable bagged, it has to be eCW or eClinicalWorks<\/a>, yeah you\u2019re right.\u00a0 But the next in the line EMR may not be that easy to guess. If you\u2019re thinking Allscripts, Practice Fusion or GE Centricity, you are wrong.\u00a0 Even Cerner does not hit the bull\u2019s-eye, it comes fourth.\u00a0 And NextGen<\/a> and e-MDs are way off target.\u00a0 Does McKesson ring a bell?\u00a0 No, it is in no way related to one of the top 3 consulting firms, McKinsey; but mind you is a corporate behemoth in itself, a Fortune 500 company which provides wholesale supplies of pharmaceuticals and health information technology related services.<\/p>\n

Mckesson\u2019s EMR product is all that you can expect in a new-age EMR; it is cloud-based, CCHIT certified, is intuitive and easy to use, and what more comes with a novel dashboard, which measures your progress along the road to meaningful use.\u00a0 The dashboard measures your practice on 15 meaningful use criteria, and further clicking of any one of the criteria gives you greater details about the same, including instant access to CMS meaningful use guidelines.<\/p>\n

Next in the countdown is Cerner<\/a>, and it has often found itself being compared to a comparable product, the Epic.\u00a0 Remember that Epic could easily have replaced Cerner at #3 (it itself is at #7), were it not for Cerner\u2019s better functionality in a hospital setting and its decade of head start in the EMR arms race. \u00a0An interesting comparison between Cerner and Epic has been that Cerner is likened to a Ferrari, with its prancing, agile, and competitive functionalities, whereas Epic has been compared to a Lamborghini, more \u201cengine-centric\u201d and potency focused, which in turn shows up in the one of the most integrated EMR environments.<\/p>\n

Allscripts<\/a>\u2019 position at number #4 is somewhat contentious.\u00a0 Although AMA has partnered with it, one might say it is mainly because of its e-prescribing feature, and the rest of the EMR is clunky to use.\u00a0 But call what you may, the free tech support and free upgrades, and yes that remote app for iphone has made it a force to reckon with in the EMR market.<\/p>\n
