Which EMR Price is Right?The average set up cost of these 88 EMR systems is around $870; however, average annual maintenance cost is $2,254 per year. Does this sound strange to you too? Many practices are getting knocked around by potholes that their EMR systems create. But they are still driving into them at full speed, and it is costly. The average number of active EMR users as of 2002 is 2, 225 users per EMR. That means that there is a large market for more effective electronic medical records systems. That also means that there are a lot of users that regularly run into these potholes as well, and they don’t want to help pay for repairs. EMR, Right Prescription for Reducing Liability CostsPerhaps reason there are so many EMR users is that is safe. Customers want to reduce liability costs, as do medical practices. Pres. Bush toured country after his reelection, from Downington, PA to Canton, OH to Collinsville, IL, talking about liability costs and defensive medicine. Small practices spend an average of $150,000 per year in liability costs. When medical records are kept same way bedrooms are this makes sense. Most practices are smarter than that and are looking for an EMR that works. The right EMR may be best defensive medicine.

It can also be argued that printing changed way Europeans thought. With older illuminated manuscripts, emphasis was on images and beauty of page. Early printed works emphasized principally text and line of argument. In sciences, introduction of printing press marked a move from medieval language of metaphors to adoption of scientific method. In general, knowledge came closer to hands of people, since printed books could be sold for a fraction of cost of illuminated manuscripts. There were also more copies of each book available, so that more people could discuss them. Within 50-60 years, entire library of "classical" knowledge had been printed on new presses. The spread of works also led to creation of copies by other parties than original author, leading to formulation of copyright laws. Furthermore, as books spread into hands of people, Latin was gradually replaced by national languages. This development was one of keys to creation of modern nations.
