(919) 477-5152One of the major changes in the healthcare industry in the past several years was the transition from paper to digital record keeping. Public and private healthcare organizations are now required to implement an electronic medical record (EMR) or an electronic health record (EHR) and demonstrate “meaningful use.”
While both EMRs and EHRs are the digital versions of a patient’s chart, an EHR offers a more comprehensive snapshot of a patient’s medical history. If you are in the market for a new provider, look no further. Here is a brief overview of some of the most popular EMR and EHR providers in the healthcare industry today:
athenahealth EHR
athenahealth EHR is a cloud based software, meaning it can be accessed at any time from any location. Independent physicians and larger healthcare practices admire it because it’s very intuitive and only comes with several templates. This EHR is also a favorite because its customer service representatives easily solve problems as they arise.
EpicCare EHR
Although EpicCare EHR was designed for large hospitals, it can be used in smaller practices as well. Users like using EpicCare EHR because of its dashboard which organizes patient data as well as outcome and productivity metrics. EpicCare EHR allows healthcare professionals to take notes, record symptoms, and suggest an outcome in an efficient way. Additionally, its templates can be customized to meet the needs of the medical professional using it.
MEDITECH EMR
Hospitals, physician practices, home care providers, behavioral health facilities, and other types of healthcare organizations use MEDITECH EMR solutions to meet their needs. MEDITECH stands out from other EMR providers because it can easily consolidate patient information, offers robust reporting tools, and emphasizes security through roles-based access.
NextGen Ambulatory EHR
Intended for medium and large medical practices with at least 2 physicians and those who specialize in community health, ophthalmology, and cardiology, NextGen Ambulatory EHR is appreciated most for its ease of use.
