Financial Evaluation and Profitability Analysis of Electronic Medical Record
(EMR) System Implementation in Healthcare
Conduct a detailed financial evaluation and profitability analysis for the implementation of an
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system in a healthcare facility, as outlined in the provided
analysis. Your response should cover the following key components:
1. Initial Cost Estimate: Break down the various costs involved in implementing the EMR
system, including software licenses, hardware, implementation costs, and temporary
productivity loss.
2. Annual Benefits: Explain how the implementation of the EMR system leads to cost
savings, including chart pulls, transcription costs, adverse drug events, drug utilization,
laboratory utilization, radiology utilization, charge capture improvements, billing errors,
and administrative expenses.
3. Profitability Analysis: Calculate the 5-year return on investment (ROI) for a single
provider, considering the present value of costs and benefits. Discuss the payback period
and sensitivity analysis results.
4. Functional Variations: Analyze the effect of different EMR feature sets (Light,
Medium, and Full EMR) on net benefits.
5. Sensitivity Analysis: Interpret the impact of fluctuations in key components, such as
software licenses, support, hardware costs, and temporary productivity loss, on the
overall project profitability.
Ensure your response includes calculations where appropriate, and explain the financial viability
of the project from the hospital’s perspective.
