Doctors looking to make their EMR transition may want to hire the services of a larger provider that is capable of offering these touches, as they could save money by working with a more established EMR provider.

On September 28, Blue Cross and Blue Shield North America (BCBSNC) announced a collaboration with the healthcare technology provider Allscripts.

While EMR software can help doctors improve their medical practice management, there are a number of questions that need to be considered before physicians invest in this type of technology.

Many healthcare experts say this begins with a thorough assessment of the staff’s current knowledge of the diagnostic coding.

Due to the difficult economic climate, many patients are having trouble paying for medications and prescriptions.

Due to the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act in 2009, medical facilities that can show that they are using EMR software in a meaningful way can receive big bonuses.

Due to the ongoing transitions in the medical industry to new technologies such as medical billing software and electronic medical records, government healthcare organizations are taking steps to meet the upcoming deadlines.

While many small facilities are putting off the switch to electronic medical records due to the magnitude of the project, these institutions have much to gain by implementing the software.

A new study suggests electronic medical records could increase the quality of care diabetes patients receive.

Even though some healthcare providers are just now making the switch to digital records, others are already seeing benefits.
