"Rather than turn a practice upside-down with a 'big bang' implementation
or replace old workflows with entirely new ones, executives must survey
and understand those clinical areas where the needs are real and the value
of an EMR is immediate and obvious."

JHIM:
Journal of Healthcare Information Management
The Journal of Healthcare Information Management
published by HIMSS
is the only journal specifically for healthcare information and management
systems professionals. Each issue examines the implications of a specific
topic (such as Scheduling, Community Health Information Networks, TQM)
in the areas of clinical systems, information systems, management engineering,
and telecommunications in healthcare organizations.
The Spring 2003 - Volume 17, Issue 2 (contents)
includes an article (requires
Adobe Acrobat Reader)) by Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD that serves as a white
paper delineating the reasons why IT executives should look no further
than prenatal care to find a clinical area that will bring immediate and
obvious value from an EMR. The implementation of an electronic prenatal
record across an organization can bring more smiles than tears to clinicians
and executives.
