  • Arya Karamooz on New Trends for Electronic Medical Records (Part 2 of 2), Arya Karamooz
    May, 2012
    An expert in electronic medical records (EMRs), Arya Karamooz discusses the future of EMRs in this second part of our interview.

    Question: What is the biggest growth industry you anticipate involving EMRs over the next few years?

    Arya Karamooz: Urgent care centers, especially chains, are playing an increased role in American medical care. However, many of these centers do not currently have, and have no plans to adopt, EMRs. This makes it harder for primary care physicians and hospitals to coordinate care for patients who also use these centers. As urgent care chains expand, the lack of EMRs could prove to be a commercial liability – patients will be more likely to choose centers which can easily coordinate with their primary care physicians. In the next few years, I expect more urgent care centers to recognize the need for EMRs and begin switching over.

    Q: How has the mobile phone revolution affected EMRs?

    Mr. Karamooz: It’s really speeded up their adoption. Many physicians now review patient tests, records, and imaging studies on their tablets and smartphones. The constant connectedness makes it easy for physicians to quickly coordinate care, deal with drug interactions, and communicate test results to patients. I think many EMR systems will develop apps to ease communication and streamline processes.
