Electronic Medical Records

The latest in Medical Software, designed to eliminate paper charts, overhead, and promote positve patient outcome. Claims of ROI vary between EMR software companies, but one thing is certain, EMR companies offer services that benefit Healthcare Providers.

Integration vs Best of Breed

The latest buzz word of the EMR industry is integration. When a software package claims to be a Fully Integrated Practice Management and EMR package, it is just that. It is a package designed to accommodate everything the Medical Office needs to function. On the other side of the coin, there are those that claim that the Best of Breed philosophy is the better choice. The idea is that you build your Software Solution from compatible but seperate software products. Choosing one from column A, one from column B and two from column C. The reality is that either solution can work for the Physician, but there are things to consider.

Advantages of Integration

  • Seamless: A truly integrated package typically functions seamlessly from day one.
  • One-Throat to Choke: One vendor has no one to point the finger at or excuse themselves by saying "its on their end."

Best of Breed Advantages

  • Value: Choose the most cost-effective feature rich software from each category to get the best value.
  • Choice: If you have two good vendors and one bad vendor you can always fire the bad one.

We provide EMR related services such as Documents and Imaging, Voice Recognition, and Laboratory Results and Ordering. In addition to the services we provide we also provide cost-effective interfaces to any third party, provided they have an interface available and are capable of interfacing to another software package.
