Selecting an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system for your practice can be a daunting task. There are many EMR vendors in the market, but not all of them are created equal. Prior to making a major investment in EMR technology, it is best to consult an expert. At Innovative Healthcare Business Solutions, our staff has vast EMR knowledge and can assist in your selection of an EMR.
While it may seem like picking an EMR for your practice should be a straightforward decision, there are many factors to consider. For example, an EMR that is cloud based is very different than one hosted on a physical server, and these differences can impact your practice. In addition, EMRs that are specialty-specific may have different components than an EMR used by all. Many times, providers lean towards a less expensive system and learn after implementation that it is missing critical items, like quality reporting, that were not reviewed during the decision-making process. In addition to potential missing features, providers may not consider items like training costs, data storage, and implementation during the selection process. These items could substantially increase system cost as well as its successful implementation in your practice.
IHBS can assist you in selecting the right system to meet your needs and ensure you ask all of the important questions for a full due diligence process. In addition, we can even assist with the implementation if needed. More on EMR implementation can be found under the project management section of our website.
