• Healthcare would benefit from physician office EMR's that integrate office and hospital information
• Current systems do not yet support highly efficient physician office workflow

• EMR's of all types are relatively expensive
• Vender landscape is challenging
• Most health systems are not invested in supporting independent physician offices
