Walmart is joining the EHR industry with an unlikly partner in ECW, no specifics are available as yet, not sure whether it will be good or bad for small practices

Hi guys: You should check out the free downloadable open-source Word-based EMR that I've developed. I may be slightly biased, but it's a masterpiece! Beats all of these mega-buck EMRs by a mile. It is discussed here and downloadable from my Yahoo Briefcase: ...

This is not to discourage the adoption of electronic EMR/PM but it is something I did not think about when I started this about 9 years ago and I wish I had (although it wouldn't have changed much of my actions). The purchase and maintenance of initial systems may not be the only costs involved....

After reading posts on various web sites and trialing 8 different systems, my practice decided to implement BondClinician. There were multiple problems that they were VERY slow to fix. Then they were bought by MediNotes and most of the Bond people were downsized. It became even harder to get...

I'd be interested in hearing opinions concerning this system that filters through EMRs based on practice specialty, practice size, etc. It's located at http://www.ehrscope.com. Thanks Eric

...argh...I swore I'd never get too tech-oriented, but our hospital has bought and partly implemented the Medi-tech system and we will be going live with the doc portion for EMR in the next few months. I've seen a little of how it works, and it seems ok to me, but can anyone dumb it down for me,...

Does anyone have experience with Meditab EMR/billing?

Just wanted to give a quick update to the docs on here who were interested in Mac based EMRs (but will run on anything). My EMR Life Record went public on April 1st, 2005 - over 3000 downloads to date. Built in imaging/DICOM, voice recognition, free electronic billing, automatic coding for...

Hello Everyone, I am going to be starting a SOLO practice & would like to get an EMR. My current choice is between e-clinical works, PMSI and e-MD. Obviously cost is a big factor, but at the same time I don't want to loose much functionality of EMR. Any suggestions about these EMR's or any other...

I thought there may be some interest in this. The story is how the VA EMR went down and the havoc it caused. Imagine a national EMR as has been proposed by some (including Newt Gingrich) going down. The VA is put up as the example of how a national integrated EMR can work. ...
