\"\"Stage 2 is coming, and the focus of the electronic medical record (EMR) community is shifting from the capture, to the exchange of health<\/a> information. According to one industry insider, when it comes to true interoperability, here are 10 things your EMR may need:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Single sign-on (SSO). <\/strong>Applications tend to proliferate, and if you don’t allow people to switch between these applications using a common login and password, users will get frustrated and give up.<\/li>\n
  2. Context transitions.<\/strong> As applications grow, and you need to integrate them into an EMR, SSO won\u2019t be enough, because you\u2019ll still lose the \u201cactive patient<\/a> or task” being performed. You\u2019ll also need to provide for the transition of context between applications.<\/li>\n
  3. Widget publishing.<\/strong> EHRs often have hundreds of functions, and if some are exportable or publishable as widgets, they become much easier to integrate into new user interfaces in the future.<\/li>\n
  4. Widget consumption. <\/strong>EMRs will become more like containers of cross-application functionality than innate functionality, so consuming widgets will be a basic requirement.<\/li>\n
  5. Mash-ups.<\/strong> EMRs should allow access to their content through the content management interoperability services (CMIS) standard, thereby allowing users to unlock content they have in various health records.<\/li>\n
  6. Customizable dashboards.<\/strong> EMRs should provide dashboards that can be tailored by organization, user role, or even user.<\/li>\n
  7. Interactive Voice Response (IVR).<\/strong> IVR, which allows an EMR to interact with users through phones and other voice systems, such as Skype, will improve collaboration with patients and other physicians who aren\u2019t at a computer.<\/li>\n
  8. Voice recognition.<\/strong> This will help users conduct EMR tasks more efficiently.<\/li>\n
  9. Natural language understanding.<\/strong> Because most EMR data is entered by humans, an EMR must integrate with systems that can convert the spoken word or typed text to structured data.<\/li>\n
  10. Customizable data import and export.<\/strong> A good EMR must allow customizable importing and exporting of simple lists in common formats, such as Excel, CSV and XML.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
