The Penguin Problem - No one moves unless everyone moves, so no one moves. Is this why EHR implementations have been slow? Why wouldn't you want EHR as soon as possible with all of the known benefits that it brings?
I read this the other day and thought it was very interesting: Hungry penguins gather at the edge of an ice floe, reluctant to dive into the water. There is food in the water, but a killer whale might be lurking, so no penguin wants to dive first. In such circumstances, individual rationality may lead a group to forfeit attractive opportunities for example, a predator-free meal or an innovative new networked product. Harvard Business School Professor Tom Eisenmann explains: Other parties may be in the same position - perhaps enough of them to satisfy mutual requirements for network scale, if everyone actually participated. Due to fragmentation, however, individuals cannot signal their intentions, so they cannot be assured that others will join the network. Facing this uncertainty, each isolated user may defer their purchase. No one moves unless everyone moves, so no one moves.
