We reviewed current EMR software programs like the standards ChartLogic and eClinicalWorks and respect their products. But you can avoid a major cash investment in software and hardware by adopting a service provider model over the internet. Very simply the Application Service Provider (ASP) allows you to use your web browser to access and function in an application that is hosted at the ASP location and not based on you operating and managing the application. Think of them as your geeks on the “net” that give you the product that you need without the payroll expense.
But what can you do to comply and not waste your money and avoid getting screwed? I found that solution in PracticeFusion, a completely free web based EMR program that allows you to get compliance without that major commitment of money. PracticeFusion also includes eprescribing free in the package! How can they afford to provide you with all this? They have an advertizing banner on the bottom of your computer screen that pays for the service. You can choose not to have the advertizing banner by paying a small fee for access per month if you like.
