What types of EMR solutions are available?
EMR / EHR systems come in different packages and configurations. An important decision to make when choosing an EMR system is where you want the software hosted. If you run it in-house, the solution is usually referred to as a client-server system; vendor hosted applications are referred to as application service provider (ASP) solutions. MedIT recommends a vendor hosted solution because it requires the least amount of initial and ongoing investment, and provides high levels of security and availability.
