Emr Comparing Software
A comparison and recommendation for Electronic Health Records implementation, based on EHR Package A and EHR Package B Berenice Chauncey January 03, 2013 Summary
This medical software comparison was conducted in order to recommend an Emergency Department Electronic Health Records system that will increase the quality of patient care, while reducing associated healthcare costs.
It was requested by our Community Hospital on December 01, 2012.
The investigation and data compilation was performed by Berenice Chauncey, RN.
The main findings were that EHR Package A has a slightly higher up front cost than EHR Package B, but EHR Package A has more flexibility, on several levels, that will ultimately increase the quality of patient care. EHR Package A is also projected to allow for faster processing of patients, which should increase the number of patients seen and treated, during a comparative period. For this nominal cost increase, EHR Package A also has automated interface capability between the laboratory, the nurses, and the physicians. Because of this interface capability, physicians are also prompted for potential lab orders, based on initial
