Accenture Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Solutions

While adoption is on the rise, much complexity remains for hospitals, health systems, clinics and physician practices alike.

Accenture offers end-to-end capabilities around strategy development, as well as planning, design, implementation and ongoing support of EMR systems. Our approach helps health care providers to not only realize the intended benefits of EMR systems, but also to advance in their journey to high performance.

With years of experience in both clinical and ambulatory settings, Accenture is a leading implementation provider of clinical applications—including EMR systems. We leverage our experience and research-based insights to help health care organizations more effectively plan, design, implement and support EMR systems.

Through our research, Accenture has developed an EMR maturity framework for measuring high performance. The framework identifies five dimensions: capabilities, pervasiveness, adoption, level of automation and information exchange. Accenture helps organizations assess current maturity and develop strategies for improving their approach and system.

Additionally, we’ve conducted a large-scale study of US physicians in small-group practices to determine current attitudes, expectations, concerns and experiences with regard to EMR systems. Our research helps illuminate the experiences of current EMR users—providing valuable insights for those who are not yet using such systems.
