With a record number of physicians trading in paper charts for their paperless counterparts, the health care industry in general is still decades behind the rest of the nation when it comes to automation through technology. There are a number of reasons for this, including a lack of quality solutions, a lack of incentives from governing bodies, and simply a dependence on outdated ways of doing things. However, EMR software solutions have greatly improved in the past few years, with a number of innovative companies leading the way. Still, with over 300 software vendors in the market, selecting the right EMR system can be a daunting task. Unfortunately, and contrary to what many will tell you, there is no "one size fits all" solution given the number of different medical specialties and different types of business structures.
Learn how to make the right choice when selecting an EMR.
