Panel Discussion: A Change Would Do Your EHR Good
Monday, February 17, 11:50 a.m. - 12:35 p.m.
Rock-N-Roll Stage
Moderator
- Tina Burbine, Advisory Services, Nordic
Our current EHR systems are fragmented, unstructured and unactionable, to name a few complaints. One solution is to change vendors, but that process is expensive and operationally complex for most organizations. Plus, the market is dominated by a single incumbent. However, smaller, agile, tech-driven vendors focused on data standardization and interoperability are beginning to challenge the status quo. Will the rise of AI accelerate this disruption, enabling deeper integration for predictive analytics and real-time clinical insights? Are we seeing a shift to a more hybrid approach that balances the flexibility of modular systems with the power of monolithic platforms? Imagine a future where a seamless data flow fuels operational efficiency and patient-centric care, transforming EHRs from static-record keeping tools into dynamic engines of insights. The question is not whether this change is coming, it's how fast you’ll be ready to embrace it. Change is a good thing!
