The key to a successful and well run medical practice is efficient and effective patient care. Medical practices are moving away from paper charts and moving towards electronic records and patient portals. Electronic Health Records (EHR) software is a digital file cabinet for patient charts – storing medical history, medications, lab results, treatment plans, and even patient billing information in a centralized database.
An electronic health record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient’s paper chart. EHRs are real-time, patient-centered records that make information available instantly and securely to authorized users. While an EHR does contain the medical and treatment histories of patients, an EHR system is.
This report uses a unique algorithm that takes into account each product’s active customer count, active user count, and social presence. We define active customer as “organizations (practices, hospitals, etc.) that license the product”, and active users as “medical professionals who access the system (doctors, nurses, office staff, etc.).” When creating and updating the report, we reach out to every company listed in the Capterra EMR Software Directory and request the necessary information, regardless of their client status with Capterra. We also conduct independent research on all EMR companies that have at least one user review on Capterra.
Implementing an EMR has been known to increase medical practices’ productivity, the quality of care given to patients, job satisfaction, and customer satisfaction.
