Cloud computing for your health
Web-based Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are stepping onto the main stage as the most likely way smaller and solo physician practices will be able to adopt EHRs in a “meaningful” way, in time for the 2011 ARRA/HITECH incentive moneys.
Web-based software has also been referred to as cloud-based computing, SaaS, ASP-delivered software.
For the small medical practice, the web-based applications add up to viability.
Physicians are taking advantage of cloud-based patient records to provide cost-effective EMRs (electronic medical records) for patients.
Practice Fusion provides a free, web-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for doctors who often face technological and financial challenges to streamline productivity in their practices.
With $20 billion worth of stimulus incentives becoming available to physicians that adopt “meaningful use” of EHR, Practice Fusion is a state of the art platform that is free – physicians pocket all $44,000+ in government incentives.
Using cloud-based EMRs allows doctors to provide better patient care, reduce errors, cut costs, and avoid security breaches because data is stored securely and remotely via cloud computing.
Additionally, the cost of building and hosting an in-house data center is avoided.
