Electronic medical records
Selecting, deploying and rescuing EMR programmes.
What the problem looks like
Most EMR failures are procurement failures wearing a technical costume. A system is chosen on a feature matrix, deployed against a fixed calendar, and abandoned by clinicians whose consultation time it doubled.
The recoverable ones fail visibly in month three. The unrecoverable ones report green until the contract ends.
What I do about it
Requirements written from observed clinical workflow rather than a vendor questionnaire; selection and evaluation; deployment sequencing by facility readiness; and clinician-side change management with adoption measured per site, not per state.
Rescue work on programmes already in trouble: what to keep, what to migrate, what to stop paying for.
