EHR and EMR software
Electronic health record software stores patient charts, orders, and prescriptions in one system that the whole care team shares.
Overview
What it does
An EHR replaces the paper chart. Clinicians document visits, order labs, send prescriptions to the pharmacy, and review a patient’s history from one screen. Small practices, specialty clinics, and hospital groups all rely on one, and the right fit depends on your specialty and size.
How to choose
Start with your specialty. A system built for primary care frustrates a dermatology or behavioral health practice, so ask each vendor for references in your field.
Features
Key features to look for
Charting templates
Specialty-specific templates that shorten the time it takes to document a visit.
E-prescribing
Electronic prescriptions, including controlled substances, sent straight to the pharmacy.
Lab and imaging orders
Orders and results that flow between the chart and your lab partners.
Patient portal
Secure access for patients to view records, message the office, and request refills.
