EMR Consulting
Whether you call it Electronic Medical Records (EMR) or Electronic Health Records (EHR) the question remains:
Is your hospital prepared to meet adoption deadlines?
Infrastructure investment plans need to keep in mind EHR adoption timelines. The multi-year timeline requires significant IT investments in infrastructure and resources. In order to provide you with the information to make the best decisions during this large capital investment and to ensure maximum return, consulting assistance should be a real consideration.
What is EMR versus EHR?
Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR): While the terms are often used interchangeably by media, government, and even in the healthcare field, there are differences. Most commonly and simply put, EMR is a single record of care, while EHR is the collective records of all care for an individual.

Providing evidence of meaningful use according to the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH)
