The phrase “Computerized Medical Records” refers to a patient medical record that normally would be in paper form, but instead are in a digital format. Creating a digital medical record normally involves scanning paper records and storing them in a digital format. However, as more institutions move toward implementing electronic health information management systems, new technologies are increasingly available to create these electronic medical records without the use of paper to begin with.
Whether your organization plans on implementing an in-house Electronic Medical Records (EMR) program or you are researching solutions for a larger-scale Electronic Health Records (EHR)System, there are a variety of products and services to help meet meaningful use requirements.
