SCENARIO A: No plans for an EMR
 There
are a lot of reasons an investment in a comprehensive EMR may not make
sense for your practice. However, there is certainly one area of your
practice that demands perfect transfer of information between providers
at a variety of locations, and one area where systematic delivery of care
can improve quality and avoid litigation. And that area already functions
as an island with its own workflow and its own forms. That area is of
course, prenatal care.
In a pragmatic bow to the 21st Century, it makes complete sense to at
least swap your paper prenatal records for electronic prenatal records
because that is where you have the biggest problems and expense in information
access today. And, the move to eNATAL will hardly change anything about
the prenatal care workflow in your office, and your patients will be quite
impressed with your "advanced" practice. The cost of making
this switch is nominal compared to other office expenses like telephones,
electricity, etc., and the return is immediate and obvious.
