The perfect diet does not exist. The perfect exercise routine does not exist. Except the one that meets YOUR needs. Seems to be a basic rule, which is why as a Clinical Informaticist for a leading LTPAC software company, I always ask our wonderful provider clients, "What needs do you have? What problem do you need to solve?"
Dr. John Halamka is one of those sane voices I respect, so I follow his blog. He says he has yet to meet the perfect electronic health record system. Here's an excerpt from his recent post titled "The Perfect EHR" at http://geekdoctor.blogspot.com/2012/02/perfect-ehr.html
The bottom line from every product I've used and everyone I've spoken with is that there is no current "perfect" EHR. We're still very early in the EHR maturity lifecycle.
In other words, what needs does a system need to fill for you? Think about that while you jog around the block. Then go read his thoughtful article.
Have a great weekend!
