Kashif,

Thanks for your note. There are several ways to engage with our Microsoft Healthcare team. Perhaps the best way, for small companies, is to get involved with the Microsoft Healthcare Users Group at www.mshug.org. In addition, we offer a Healthcare and Life Sciences partner program that will point you to resources, training, product roadmap and other opportunities to help you better use our technologies to develop contemporary solutions for the healthcare industry. If you are interested in the partner program, just send a note and appropriate contact information to aprilb@microsoft.com.

Bill Crounse, MD Healthcare Industry Director

We have build an integrated solution on Smart Client Plaftform regarding Practice Managment including electronic billing, electronic health record, lab, pharma, radiology and patient portal. We are looking to work in detail with Microsoft in this regard. Let me know who is the right person to speak to.

Interesting read. There's a lot of confusion about choosing EMRs at the moment and articles like this are helpful.

I've put the article up for discussion at our EMR forum here:

Interesting ideas, but missing a few things, I think.

I made some comments on my blog:

It's a good start, I think. Clinicians, generally speaking, don't grasp all of the "what ifs?" of picking out an EMR, in my own opinion. it's very complex. But, there's a lot more besides the "clinical" involved.

I fully agree with the premise: now is the time to buy. Just make sure you know what you're getting into.
