EMR Solutions

With electronic medical records (EMR) now in use in more than 50 percent of medical practices, a wide number of EMR solutions are available to help practitioners manage EMR for maximum benefit. EMR solutions enable physicians and administrators to more easily implement EMR throughout the practice, making patient data available whenever and wherever it is needed. Superior EMR solutions enable the practice to:

• Capture patient data easily with the help of templates, forms and Symptom Bar technology.
• Search and retrieve patient records quickly, providing practitioners to view a patient's complete medical record.
• Use the medical records database to improve preventative care by searching for patients matching specific demographic information.
• Reduce the costs of transcription, printing, handling phone calls, authorizing prescription refills and repetitive administrative tasks.
• Integrate evidence-based clinical guidelines into the physician's workflow.
• Provide patients with access to their own medical records and lab results.

Web based EMR solutions offer a more affordable approach.

While there are a variety of EMR solutions on the market, Web based EMR solutions offer an affordable solution – especially for smaller practices that can't afford to purchase expensive software and hardware and don't have an in-house IT team to install and maintain more complex solutions. With Web based EMR software, applications are hosted offsite by the provider and are available to medical practices via a Web browser. Patient data is housed in a highly secure data center and available 24/7 to physicians and administrators from any Web browser in any location. That means physicians can access complete patient medical records online from the office or the hospital. For these services, medical practices simply pay a predictable monthly subscription fee.
