I dunno, QuadraMed that was used by at least NYC H&H for years before their imperiled transition to Epic prominently displayed “Revenue Cycle Management” on the splash screen of its decrepit provider facing frontend.

Both of you are overstating your cases. That said, it’s hard to overstate how heavily charge capture and billing are prioritized to the detriment of other aspects.

There were major EHR deployments in the 80s through early 00s, before most government mandates. Surely later mandates were an incentive This reflects a lack of tenure.

    One example was already given. Epic dates back to 1979, certainly they were doing something prior to 2009 (as was Cerner and Meditech). Other than HITECH, what other major regulation in the US are you referring to?

    Both UPMC and Cleveland Clinic were early adopters around 2001. Meditech has been partnered with HCA since 1994.
