Detroit's Henry Ford Health System to Launch $100M EMR System, Then Switch to $350M Model

Detroit-based Henry Ford Health System is planning to launch its $100 million electronic medical record system this month, according to a Crain's Detroit Business report.

The EMR system was originally installed at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit in June but was brought offline due to software errors. In October, the hospital went back online and Henry Ford West Bloomfield (Mich.) Hospital began using the EMR.

The EMR system will be only temporary, however, because Henry Ford plans to purchase a new $350 million EMR system from a different company. Henry Ford will begin installing the new EMR in 2012 and expects all its hospitals to be operational with the technology by 2015.
