The search for an EMR system: weighing every option to ensure the best fit.
Having recently implemented a new practice management system, ENT and Allergy Associates began the search for an electronic medical record system. An integrated system seemed to be the obvious and logical choice, but researching all of the options ensured a well-informed decision and the comfort of knowing that the best product for the practice was selected. Therefore, the practice undertook an extensive search, finally narrowing the field down to two contenders: one that would be integrated, the other interfaced. With both products having different, yet considerable, strengths, the decision was a difficult one.
