Hospitals Don't Always Plan for 'Hybrid' EMRs -- InformationWeekHospitals
Don't Always Plan for 'Hybrid' EMRs - healthcare Blog
As hospitals transition to electronic medical records (EMRs), many are not
adequately planning for the intermediate period when they might be running
dual paper and electronic systems, a records management firm says, based on
results of a survey.

"I don't see a real, well-defined way of dealing with the hybrid
[paper-electronic] world," Ken Rubin, senior vice president and general
manager for healthcare at Iron Mountain, told *InformationWeek Healthcare*.
Instead, Rubin said he sees kind of a "no-man's land" between paper and
digital recordkeeping.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
