however , EMR software collects a patient medical records such as laboratory , Imaging , pharmacy and etc , but it implement and use in a single Care Delivery Organizasion ( CDO) .
when we collect data of a patient from different CDO , in fact , we use EHR software because we follow our patients in CDOs with their problems and health data .
in other hand , you can not collect health data of humans ( EHR) ,without implementation EMR software in different CDOs.; ▶ Reply to This

What really makes me said is that we still see several companies using fancy and complex explanations simply to make a software more expensive. Hopefully, clarifications like we see in this blog will help us to see that not only price determines if a solution is the best option or fit for a certain practice. I am amazed how certain doctors still think that for a program to be good it has to cost a lot.

Good luck to you all!
