2023 EMR Survey - the results are in!
Earlier this year AMA members were invited to participate in an electronic medical record survey on behalf of the Physician Leads Executive and the AMA Informatics Advisory Committee. The themes drawn from the responses were in line with what we’ve been hearing from members.
  • The smaller EMRs are more effective in the areas of support and data migrations.
  • There are no clear EMR preferences with respect to EMR functionality.
  • New and old EMRs must meet Alberta usability and technical requirements and provide robust support before being deployed in Alberta.
The informatics-related feedback was surprisingly clear and consistent across the province in supporting the criticality of interoperability as the number one priority, including but not limited to:
  • closed loop ordering
  • Connect Care integration
  • Netcare integration

This is valuable information to guide our advocacy efforts and to take forward to our provincial partners to emphasize and support the importance of interoperability and EMR vendor model to Alberta physicians and PCNs in support of improved continuity of care.

Thank you again to all who participated. We will keep you informed as priorities and next steps take shape.
