Finally an attempt has been made to connect the physicians all over the globe. North Shore-LIJ has agreed to invest a generous 85% for the implementation and operation of EHR system. Approximately 7000 Physician EHR Adoptions are being aimed at with the system being installed in around 7000 physician offices in New York City and Long Island.


It is forecasted that this Healthcare IT software would be effective this December.
Many meetings and demo sessions are being done with the physicians on regular intervals. On a positive note, about hundred of them have already shown their willingness to sign the contract. However, 7000 is still a big target.


A two way profit road for physicians:


Signing the contract gives the physicians an edge on two fronts. Not only do they get 50 percent subsidy on adopting this EHR system> but if they agree to abide by the clinical protocols embedded in the program, then they may receive a higher percentage such as 85% of the subsidy.


With an aim to raise the standards of care in the metropolitan city and an extensive research done for the same, North Shore-LIJ has planned an investment of $400 million to create the EHR system.


It has also been brought to light that this program of EHR system is a unique system which is not to be sold or to be used for commercial gains. As of date, the system is well integrated with the clinical guidelines of the organization and is therefore not a commercial enterprise.
