EMR Vendors

For smaller practices and independent clinicians seeking to transition to electronic medical records (EMR), the choice among EMR vendors can be rather daunting. Many EMR vendors offer electronic medical record software products that are quite costly to purchase and install, requiring a large upfront capital investment. Other EMR vendors deal in electronic medical record management systems that are highly complex to manage, requiring significant IT resources to manage and upgrade them. For the smaller practice with limited resources, these vendors' systems are impractical. Web based EMR vendors, on the other hand, provide an approach to managing electronic patient records that is easy and affordable, creating a true small practice EMR alternative.

Transition to electronic records quickly with online EMR vendors.

Where traditional EMR vendors sell hardware and or software to the medical practice, Web based or online EMR vendors provide Software-as-a-Service solutions that make applications available through the Web. Instead of installing software on servers within the practice, physicians access software via a secure website, entering, searching or retrieving records through any computer at any location, with just Internet access. The only cost to the practice is an affordable monthly subscription fee. With no software to install, the transition to EMR can be quick and easy. Because patient medical data resides on servers at an offsite secure data center rather than on servers within the practice, medical records are protected.
