When it comes to EHRs, physicians tend to take them as a necessary evil. While health specialists struggle to work with clogged and slow legacy systems, they can’t just quit on using them.

Since it is impossible to fake a perfectly working system when there are so many physicians dissatisfied with it, major EHR vendors had to start updating their products with cutting-edge technologies. Many of the industry front-runners already announced upcoming AI injections to enhance EHRs with clinical decision support, pattern analysis, differential diagnostics, and more elaborate features.
