EHR implementation does not have to be the mammoth task that it has made out to be. It does not have to be a fiscally risky financial decision that can put your cash flow at risk. Have you ever ruminated on the fact that if games on a Playstation or XBOX seem to accomplish a lot more technologically than the EHR demos that you've seen for a pittance? You don't have to play games to know this - compare the graphics of games to the colonoscopy and radiology images you see on your EHR. Unfortunately, healthcare as an industry has been behind technologically. Thanks to healthcare reform and the HITECH Act, a lot of innovation is underway.

A practice we know implemented an EHR one year ago. The physician was happy that the company gave away a free flatbed scanner. A year later, the practice has yet to begin using the system. Another practice spent $100,000 on the EHR system, is investing several days in the recommended training, purchased servers and other hardware and has cut down on patient volume to complete EHR implementation. This brings the cost of implementation to $300,000. It does not have to be this way.

Enki (by NextServices) is not a standalone EHR product but an EHR ecosystem that is changing the way healthcare gets delivered. Here are the principles of Enki:

a) Flexibility: Central to Enki is flexibility. The interface can be customized in seconds, which means each physician can have a different looking product based on her preference. For example, if you prefer seeing your schedule first, medications next, past history after that and SOAP note later - you can do that. If your colleague prefers to order his interface by seeing past history first, lab reports next, he can do that. Flexible.

b) Inbuilt intelligence: Enki knows you, your specialty, your patients, their insurances, your billing trends very well. An inbuilt proprietary analytics engine learns as it goes along. The more you use Enki the more it learns about you. It becomes a partner making delivery of care seamless.

c) Services+Product: Enki is not just a software product. It is an interplay of human services with a product platform. Unlike other EHR systems, Enki services come into play on a daily basis. For example, by the time a patient arrives at the practice Enki would have verified his insurance eligibility and also checked whether colon screening is due.
