		<title>Why You Shouldn't Overcustomize Avatar: One Organization's Perspective</title>
		<description>This session will address overcustomization of Avatar and why that approach may not benefit your organization. Often, the best way to approach an EMR is to change business processes to fit the software.  For example, if you try to make assessments and forms in Avatar look like your current paper forms, you may be losing searching, sorting, and data extraction benefits.  While there are needs for customization, it is important to understand when to customize and when to change businesses processes.
