Paul Mooney investigates the drawbacks which can often arise with EMR pricing. Traditional EMR vendors want you to commit to large perpetual licences. However there are other options, one where the hospital takes less of the risk by sharing it with the vendor and both can share the reward. This strategy means that the vendor is incentivised to get the hospitals EMR up and running quickly, taking months not years. Paul outlines this concept of consumption based pricing, comparing it to traditional based pricing.
