My EMR Choice launches One Stop Program for Electronic Medical Record Information
Updated and accurate, a free service to assist physicians in selection of Electronic Health Record systems
Doylestown, PA (PRWEB) January 12, 2011
My EMR Choice. com, llc, a healthcare technology process and evaluation company, is connecting physicians with Electronic Medical Record systems (EMR) through its One Stop EMR Advantage program.
A free service to medical staff and physicians, My EMR Choice matches a physician’s unique needs in selecting from the hundreds of Electronic Medical Record systems and related services.
“The HITECH Act requires physicians to move from paper to electronic medical records. This is a process, not just a product” says Doug Wallace, Executive VP of My EMR Choice. “Our signature advantage is our continually working with the physician throughout the sales process to ensure the accuracies in identifying and implementing of a fully computerized medical practice, as well as registering for incentive funds which have already begun to be paid out”
.
The HITECH Act, part of the stimulus program of 2009, has allocated billions of dollars for EMR adoption and development of health Information exchanges. Spending on EMR systems is expected to exceed $3.8 billion in 2015, up from $2 billion in 2009. Doctors can receive incentive payments of more than $44,000 over four years if they update to an EMR system.
“In addition to selecting from hundreds of EMR systems, physicians need to make a choice among providers of broadband connectivity, security, computer tablets, patient portals, billing, and many other pieces to the puzzle. Perhaps none of these will compare to the interest we see developing for patient access to their own personal health record information (PHR), anywhere, anytime” adds Wallace.
The One Stop EMR Advantage program is open to all healthcare and medical professionals. Information can be found by visiting the My EMR Choice website at http://www. myEMRchoice. com.
