winning proposition there are however some roadblocks to its implementation such as:<br />
•Heavy<br />
initial investment<br />
•Low<br />
acceptability<br />
•Confidentiality<br />
& privacy concerns<br />
•Lack<br />
of global uniformity<br />
•Low<br />
adoption rate: It is estimated that less than 30% of U.S hospitals have adopted electronic records<br />
EMRs, though requiring significant investment, represent the way forward to create a much needed<br />
centralised database. While most corporate hospitals in India have started implemented EMR, the smaller<br />
hospitals would require significant assistance and financial support.<br />
