Medical software has become a staple of the healthcare industry in recent years.
From EMR/EHR and practice management software to medical billing and patient
scheduling, there is a wide range of options as well as tools and features when it
comes to medical software. These medical features offer several benefits to help with
healthcare organizations from small specialty clinics to larger hospital systems.

2. Some clinicians use the terms EHR and EMR interchangeably, the benefits they offer
vary greatly. An EMR (electronic medical record) is a digital version of a chart with
patient information stored in a computer and an EHR (electronic health record) is a
digital record of health information.
What is the Definition of EMR
(Electronic Medical Record)?
The EMR, or electronic medical record, refers to everything you’d find in a paper chart,
such as medical history, diagnoses, medications, immunization dates, and allergies.
While EMRs work well within a practice, they’re limited because they don’t easily travel
outside the practice. The patient’s medical record might even have to be printed out
and mailed for another provider to see it.
What is the Definition of EHR
(Electronic Health Record)?
An EHR or electronic health record is a digital record of health information. It contains
all the data you’d find in a paper chart and a lot more. An EHR may include past
medical history, vital signs, progress notes, diagnoses, medications, immunization
dates, allergies, lab data, and imaging reports. It can also comprise other relevant
information, such as insurance information, demographic data, and even data
imported from personal wellness devices.

3. The Benefit of EMR/EHR
Enhance Patient Experience:
• Patient Profile- Monitor, track and upload your patient’s medical records,
diagnostic reports, prescriptions, and much more.
• E-Prescription- Send E-prescriptions to your patients and keep a record of the
whole treatment procedure.
• Diagnostic Reports- Prompt access to diagnostic reports along with doctor
notes to all the stakeholders.
• Progress Reports- Get a visual representation of the progress made by the
patient throughout the treatment with custom notifications configured for any
abnormality.
• Medical Record Department- Keep track of your physical files of old records
along with new digital medical records of the patient and make sure nothing
goes missing.
• Medicinal Administration Request- Maintain MAR worklist, medication
administration, enable order list for drug intent and manage frequency & Time
mapping.

4. Hyper Coordinated Workflows:
• Medicinal Order- Prescribe only those medicines which are in stock with an
inbuilt instinctive drop-down suggestion. Send auto-updates to the pharmacy
for quicker turnaround time.
• Clinical Order- Predefined templates help you to swiftly set up any procedural
orders or testing orders.
• Diet Management- Create, manage and share the diet plan of the inpatient
with the hospital mess department.
• Clearance Status- Keep track of the clearance status of the patient.
Create a Paperless Hospital:
• Specialty Focus- Customized templates as per specialty empower the
hospital staff to quickly process the patient data.
• Confidential Templates- Create confidential and protected templates for
sensitive information.
• Admission Request- Raise the admission request of the patient accompanied
by supporting information.
• Surgical Request- Raise a surgical request to the OT department and
respective doctor.

5. Additional Software to Consider
Different types of medical software are similar to EMR software and/or can easily be
integrated with EMR software.
Medical Practice Management software manages functions, for example,
appointment scheduling, billing, claims processing, and other administrative tasks for
medical practices. Many vendors offer integrated EMR and medical practice
management solutions.
Healthcare Management software is more comprehensive than MPM software and
integrates clinical, operational, and financial functions of medical practice. It
manages typical MPM functions as well as processes like financial auditing and
regulatory compliance.
Medical Transcription software enables physicians/clinicians to transcribe clinical
notes for patients using voice dictation. Transcription is occasionally offered as a
feature of an advanced ERM solution.

FAQ‘s
Can I build my own EMR?
How to Create EMR Software? To develop an EMR software, you have to take the
same steps as with EHR software development. The only difference is that EMR
systems are easier to build and integrate because they keep information about a
single healthcare practice.
Is the EHR secure?
Yes. An electronic health record is more secure than an ordinary paper chart.
Confidentiality is a large part of healthcare and is upheld with the computerized
system. The system is HIPAA compliant and requires a password and log-in for each
user. There are multiple layers of security- not everyone can access all aspects of a
patient’s record.
With the EMR/EHR, are healthcare decisions now led by a computer?
No. This technology provides real-time decision support for providers. The computer
doesn’t tell the doctor what to do; it simply makes accurate information accessible so
the doctor can make the medical decision.
What is the future of the EMR/EHR?
Computers and computer applications have changed the way we live. Today much of
our activities are supported by computers. Medicine is no different. In the future,
EMR/EHR will be able to talk with every hospital and other medical providers possibly
in the world.
