As more physician practices merge or consolidate the question of how to integrate electronic medical records becomes increasingly important.
“You’ve heard the three lies. The check’s in the mail. I’ll respect you in the morning. And this EHR merger will be seamless,” said Jacqueline Fincher, MD, a primary care physician and member of the American College Physicians’ Board of Regents, speaking at the ACP’s annual meeting here.
When Fincher and her husband joined her father-in-law’s solo physician practice McDuffie Medical Associates in Thomson, Ga., in 1988, there was no electronic medical record.
