This document discusses three different types of healthcare organizations and their needs related to implementing electronic health records (EHRs). A small clinic has few resources but needs to computerize its processes. A mid-sized health center has some computerized administrative processes but many paper-based clinical processes and wants a modern EHR system without large investments. A large organization has a powerful IT department but high costs and wants to innovate using EHRs to stay competitive.
