I'm not an EMR expert either, but to the hospital the EMR application is actually far more than simply medical record keeping. There are a wide range of departments or clinics (e.g., pediatrics, pharmacy, oncology, emergency room, and on and on). The doctors and nurses in each department have different and conflicting requirements. Then there are legal requirements like having the appropriate governmental certifications to ensure the hospital is eligible to receive Medicare payments, etc. Therefore, the hospital was looking and selected an EMR application on "steroids".
