Online EMR

As electronic medical records (EMR) are now being used by a majority of physicians, the need for electronic medical record software has risen sharply. While the market is full of electronic medical records programs, most are not suitable for the smaller medical practice or independent clinician. Many solutions require a costly purchase upfront and are complex enough to require an IT team to install and maintain them. An online EMR solution offers a more affordable option for the small practice. Online EMR programs are offered as a Software-as-a-Service EMR (SaaS EMR) solution, meaning there is no need to purchase hardware or software just to run the solution. Practitioners access EMR online and pay only minimal set-up and training costs, with a monthly subscription fee. Online EMR systems allow physicians to access data from anywhere at any time, and provide a high level of security as records are protected at an offsite data center with security features the average small practice could not provide.
