Electronic Medical Record (EMR)

Choosing an electronic medical records (EMR) software package must be an educated decision made on the basis of many criteria: Our CTS Medical Software Selection Kit fills you in on the specific strengths and weakness of EMR packages. Are you a large medical practice? Is client / server EMR or web based EMR software a better fit for you? Many EMR packages have been customized to work better for different medical specialties: Cardiology EMR software, Endocrinology EMR software, Gastroenterology EMR software, Pediatric EMR software, and OB-GYN EMR software, for instance, may be better served by one vendor’s package than another. Are you concerned about EMR Stimulus payments and CCHIT certification? One size certainly does not fit all in the world of EMR software selection.

Billing and Claims

Billing and claims are functions your practice depends on daily for viability. Medical Billing Software is usually the centerpiece of your medical practice management software. Some smaller practices may choose to process their medical billing claims through a web-based medical billing software. For others, it will be more efficient to process billing through their own client/server based software. If you are already using electronic medical billing software, and you want to integrate it with new medical practice software, you have to check for compatibility. Our free medical practice software reviews point out the strengths and weaknesses of different medical billing software packages.

Medical Scheduling

Scheduling patient appointments is a key function within a medical management software package. Fully functioning EMR package will include medical scheduling software. If your practice is not ready for a full EMR system, but is in need of patient scheduling software, the medical software selection kit can help you find the right stand-alone package.

All doctors have by now heard of the EMR "meaningful use" clause of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) which promises stimulus incentives to physicians using EMR /medical practice software that meet some still unspecified criteria. Right now the CCHIT organization is providing "certification" of EMR packages that it claims will offer physicians the possibility of making meaningful use of their EMR…

Can Software as a Service (SAAS) EMR Work for You?

If you have been studying EMR alternatives over the last year or two, you are aware that EMR is not a uniform glob of identical software services for physicians and health centers. Aside from issues of stimulus rebates and incentives, there are many differences among types of EMR services and products that are available today. All of them work, but one size EMR does not fit the needs of every practice or medical organization. This question goes beyond brand superiority, product training and support, and price. It really has more to do with the business model your medical practice management wants to follow...
