Electronic Health Record

An electronic health record, also known as an electronic medical record (EMR), is a computer-based record of an individual's medical history. In the technological age we are living in today, the trend is leaning more and more toward medical practices keeping an electronic health record of their patients rather than a paper record.

Physicians, hospitals, clinics, and other medical professionals are able to maintain and keep track of these records by using office and billing management software. AdvancedMD provides the #1 Web-based software for physician office and billing office management whether you have a solo or group practice or operate a third-party billing service.

Advantages of Web-based Management Software

One advantage to using a Web-based system is that extra equipment like in-house servers, backup tapes, etc. becomes unnecessary. Because you're able to eliminate the considerable expense of additional equipment, you get the management capabilities you need at a fraction of the cost. Some estimate that by using a Web-based ASP (application service provider), you'll save as much as 75% in total costs versus the traditional, in-house medical record storage approach. The cost comparison is astounding.

Another one of the great features of an entirely Web-based system is that you can access all your electronic health records anytime, anywhere. If you're at home or on the road, you can still access any of your patients' information that you need. Or, if you relocate your practice to a different office, you won't have any unnecessary equipment to move and you won't have to worry about vital information getting lost in the transfer. Instead, all of your data is safe and secure on backed-up, protected, HIPAA-compliant servers, and it can be accessed at anytime, from anywhere, by only those users you authorize.
