If the author is right on, then what arguments do you use to convince doctors or decision makers in small hospitals or doctor's offices that they should implement EHR? What direct benefits would they derive from this?

It becomes a very hard sell if you have to say: "Once everyone is using EHR everyone will see the benefits but until then it's not clear what you can gain from it."

Furthermore, unless smaller health care providers implemented EHR in sufficient numbers, the benefits of EHR will never be fully realized.

What's the way out of this conundrum?
