Electronic Medical Records and Electronic Health Records used to be two very separate definitions. But lately, the line between EMR and EHR has been blurred. At compareEMR.org, we want to help aid in the research into how an EMR or EHR solution can help practices and provide reviews of top software vendors.
An electronic medical record (EMR) is a digital computer record of a patient’s medical history used in hospitals and other medical care facilities. EMRs are used to store and access patient care history that for years was maintained only on paper. With more accessibility to a patient's medical history, much more effective care can be administered, and it has the potential to save lives. In 2009, Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that offers both incentives for converting to electronic medical records now and penalties for not converting by 2015.
Like most software, EMR and EHR solutions are also being offered as hosted solutions. EMR SaaS is a popular solution for practices to save time and money on implementation costs. And with EMR on the cloud, doctors can access critical information from anywhere.
