Why Should You Opt For Web Based EMR Software for Your Clinics?


With the digitalization of all the processes, every field including healthcare and wellness are now shifting towards adopting the latest electronic gadgets and software. Web based EMR software is just the ideal option for small to medium size clinics especially because the transition from the traditional to the electronic health record strategy is not at all complicated or costly.

Here are some of the reasons why you must adopt cloud-based EMR software for your clinic:

1.       Simple Implementation
EMR software does not run on a computer but is web-based. It means you are not required to install any software or hardware. It helps to prevent interruption of cash flow and provide a faster return as the implementation is much faster than any traditional client-server systems.

2.       Tremendous Savings
 Most of the small medical practitioners hesitate to install EMR software because of its huge cost. The cost of regular client-server systems is $40,000 or even more and it is the amount required only for set up. Apart from that, there are other expenses involved such as maintenance costs, licensing fees, updates, and patches. However, such expenses are eliminated when you opt for web based EMR systems as there are no hardware or software installation licenses. Importantly, the implementation cost is very less. Clinics and medical practitioners simply have to pay a fee every month such as the utility bill for using the software (SaaS) arrangement.  

3.       Requirement For Resources Reduce Significantly
The requirement for resources comes down significantly when clinics opt for cloud-based services. With this arrangement they do not require a team of IT expert for installing, testing, running, configuring, securing and updating hardware and software. All these functions are internally carried out by the Saas provider. Rather, the provider also automatically keeps on updating the web-based systems. It ensures that the medical practitioner continues to use most updated version all the time without having to particularly download or install the update.
