Pre-built Orthopedic EHR systems have numerous disadvantages. You will not be able to easily modify it over time to maintain a high productivity rate. The ready-made EHR software targets a wide range of consumers and it is not cost-effective for EHR product vendors to customize it for specific customers.

The boxed systems developers charge a lot in part because of the high hourly rates of programmers in the USA and the UK.

As a result, if a practice purchases a ready-made solution (because their competitors across the road have done so or because they weren’t able to find a better alternative in time) the doctors suffer from it (see the reviews written by the physicians who have purchased boxed systems and used them for some time).

After buying a ready-made system the painful decision about switching comes up, which leads to double or even triple purchases. This practice is so widespread, there are scientific papers written about it.

Here’s an excerpt from a report titled  “Why physicians switch electronic health record vendors,” presented on the “Business and Health Administration Association Annual Conference 2017.”

“ System functionality and cost were the two largest deciding factors in switching vendors. Shifting regulatory standards require additional functionality to fulfill quality reporting measures including the Meaningful Use and Physician Quality Reporting Systems standards and many physicians and health systems have decided to switch vendors in order to accommodate these requirements. Despite the associated costs with switching, many physicians and health systems have decided to switch vendors in order to receive the additional functionality, reporting, and platform benefits associated with a new vendor or records system.”

A custom-built EHR and the complementary support prevents the switching problem because you can just update the system you already have.

This is what the reliable researchers from KPMG say:

“Many of these “out-of-the-box” EHR implementations, which were often fast-tracked in an effort to meet meaningful use requirements, typically restricted providers from realizing a clear return on investments (ROI).  Healthcare leaders understand that developing and implementing a post-EHR implementation strategy under the auspices of a change-management model has become a pressing need. When organizations work under a change-management model such as lean – a long-term approach that seeks to achieve small, incremental changes in processes in order to improve efficiency and quality – they can continually leverage technology to create more value. This approach also enables organizations to fine-tune their EHRs in response to changing healthcare regulations, new technologies, evolving patient needs and a growing aging population. Without change management, however, the EHR operates in a silo and doesn’t align with the way clinicians practice medicine or with new industry demands, which creates dissatisfaction and underutilized technology.”.

Change Management in Healthcare Organization is the controlled identification and implementation of the required changes within health IT systems in accordance with the changes within a business. It's only possible with custom EHR development since it's based on the so-called Agile approach At its core, Agile is based on the assumption that circumstances change as a project develops.

If you’ve decided to develop your own EHR system, it would be meaningful only if you choose a responsible EHR technology developer which has experience with custom software development.

Belitsoft develops healthcare applications and has been working on the custom software market for over 15 years. Our rates are lower than that of the American or British companies.
