Would you consider switching EHRs if your vendor was involved in a legal situation like that of EClinicalWorks? (Poll Closed)

    Obviously the devil is in the details. It would depend on whether the defects have been fixed, whether the company is on the skids in the aftermath, whether a lot of other negative experiences with the vendor preceded the legal action, whether providers really hated the software, etc.

    The basis of the allegations/settlement is not a reason to switch. There were defects, they've been fixed. But... a switch could be considered because such a settlement could force the company into insolvency. Or at least, support and innovation will suffer as the company tightens its' proverbial belt so they can pay the fine.

    Will be interesting to see if this finding represents he tip of the iceberg - something like how it turns out that VW wasn't the only carmaker to game the emissions compliance system. I suspect that, in the context of the Great Meaningful Use Land Grab of 2009 and the spend-stimulus-fast development of certification criteria, we will find a good amount of fudging among the vendors. Even vendors who complied with the letter of the reg are nowhere near enabling the plug-and-play level of interoperability we need.
