What are the chief reasons you believe, or have seen, that EMR implementations fail?

simple: 99% are NOT designed around the practitioner delivering the care. we do not think in templates so don't try to make us fill them in. IF IT TAKES MORE TIME TO COMPLETE AN NOT IN AN EMR than to write it on paper with check off boxes, then it is too expensive EVEN IF IT IS FREE!

It is kinda what I have been researching over the past couple of years and here is my answer:

Now working to help solo, small to medium practices implement as painlessly as possible.

The biggest problem that I have seen comes down to Clnical function and need being put aside for technology limitation.  We got way to excited about things that we could do just to find that we had to change the whole practice to fit the EMR instead of the other way around.
