Medical Software Applications

Electronic medical record

We have developed a comprehensive electronic medical records (EMR) software buyers guide, as well as a number of more focused specialty EMR software system (see menu for a comprehensive list). Primary care specialists will find specific guides for Ob/Gyn EMR software and pediatric EMR software. We also have guides for cardiology EMR software, chiropractic software, plastic surgery software, urology EMR software, mental health software, tablet PC & medical PDA software and our new CCHIT certified EMR guide, among others.

Billing & claims

We offer a comprehensive buyers guide for medical billing software systems. Buyers will want to determine if they want a traditional "on-premise" system or an online medical billing software system. Physician practices will likely want an integrated medical practice management software system or perhaps a system with an integrated EMR application. Meanwhile, medical billing companies will often want a stand-alone billing system.

Appointment scheduling

Patient scheduling software is often paired with medical billing capabilities in a complete practice management system. However, in some cases - such as when billing is outsourced - providers will simply want a standalone scheduling system that stores core patient demographic information and daily schedules.
