1. Responsible Factors for difficulties in building EMR Systems
From the technological perspective, the big hurdle of building EMR systems is based on
determining the proper provider of such kind of technological services. The different providers
might be able to build customized services that might not be able to communicate or provide
interface with the pre-existing systems.
Costs of procuring such kind of technological services is another major concern. The
pace at which changes are being developed is also taken into consideration. With the rate at
which technological based services are being changing, it would be considered as highly
important to determine whether the small providers of healthcare services have such level of
resources and expertise for securing and maintaining the new kind of EMR system. The
challenges based on securing the records of medical purposes is because this facility is costly in
nature.
From the organizational perspective, the evidence for resisting against changes to the
current systems primarily creates an establishment over the high cost of restricting. This would
include the major form of increase in the area concerning budgets and increase in the employee
workloads (Alley et al. 2016). The payback period for the implementation of an EMR system is
considered to be huge, which can be considered as the major struggle for companies to reap the
benefits in the future.
From the management perspective, one of the obvious challenge is that data within the
system is stored online, which would make use of the Internet (Wei and Denny 2015). The
identification of security and privacy is the biggest concern for organizations to deal with them
and bring in efficient systems for managing them accordingly.
