Bert -- everything is in slow motion. The latest insult is Covid -- which undoubtedly has sapped will and energy. But so many things are wrong: Medicare can't decide what they are going to do about "payment reform" (MIPS/MACRA) so it isn't any wonder that AC can't decide how to finish V11.
Our local hospital uses a Cerner program which is just awful, and it doesn't matter what the doctors say -- it never gets any better. Other hospitals in the area mostly use EPIC which I have never used, but I hear is mind numbing -- and the records we get from them are wretched.
Query Google for "top EHR" and everyone is at the top -- dozens of them. That seems unlikely, since according to Medscape, one of the main reasons for "physician burnout" is the EMR
My impression is that 10 years ago EMR was a rather innovative, cutting edge sort of business -- most doctors were invested in making it better. Now we see that it is just another corporate tool to keep us under the administrative thumb, and we have turned into sheep -- just keep your head down and eat the grass in front of you. We have seen that all the work we put into practice improvement is wasted energy.
