Rob:
Since SIDM neither creates, sells nor endorses EMRs, I am not sure why you feel the basic failing of current EMRs is a failure of SID's mission.
I do feel that SIDM can engage with clinical specialty societies to encourage that EMRs going forward be better designed to support clinical care ahead of organizational and financial priorities. The lead organization for such efforts would logically be the American Academy of Medical Informatics.

Edward,
I have heard this mentioned often.
If correct, how can SIDM be true to its Mission and Goals?

Current EHR's are designed for billing, not patient care. All else flows from this basic disconnect between what they should do and what they are designed to do.
