If you are thinking about buying an electronic medical record (EMR) or electronic health record (EHR) software system for your physician practice, make sure you do your homework. Even the most affordable medical software systems require a few thousand dollars of your money, making it important that the software you select meets your expectations.
Following are some of the clinical management features you should consider before deciding on a medical or practice management software system. If the EMR or EHR vendor doesn't discuss one of these features, it's a good idea to ask them yourself.
[[5. Does the EHR software have the ability to display a patient summary or 'face' sheet, including patient demographics, problems, medications, allergies, health maintenance, encounter listing, patient tasks, recent encounters, patient picture, and personal profile?]]

8. Does the medical software system check each orderable item for medical necessity and duplication?
9. Can the physician fax or electronically transmit prescriptions to the patient's pharmacy?
12. Is the EMR/EHR software recommend best practice(s) based on current medical literature?
The right electronic medical records software system can save a physician practice time and money, while also improving patient outcomes. But it's important to ask the right questions when doing your homework. Later this month, we'll outline clinical documentation features to consider.
