EMR Implementation
First, we are not an EMR vendor. Umbrella Medical Systems has NO monetary affiliations with any electronic medical records organization. We develop our products, services and processes to compliment an EMR enabled environment. We work in conjunction with the EMR vendor you choose to maximize the potential and capabilities of your investment.
The Condition: Let’s be honest about the future of EMR implementation in America. It’s inevitable. The U.S. healthcare industry is behind nearly every first-world country on the planet in regards to moving patient data to a digital form. The Government is pushing a mandate to have all healthcare facilities converted to electronic medical records by 2014. That said, provider hesitation is warranted. There has been no cohesive effort to provide a complete technology and EMR solution to private practices. That has now changed.
The Remedy: Umbrella Medical Systems specializes in providing a comprehensive technology solutions and EMR implementation management. We will work directly with your EMR vendor to develop a complete technology system that most benefits the way you do business.
While we can’t tell you which EMR to choose, we can provide guidance in the process. Your Umbrella Consultant will provide you with research we’ve compiled on EMRs and even put you in contact with EMR sales representatives who you should interrogate;) We will provide you with the resources you need to ensure you have answers to necessary questions and choose a proven product.
Each EMR has different utilities and capabilities. In project planning we work intensely with the EMR you choose to optimize utilities such as electronic fax, remote data access, and electronic patient registration. We make sure your investment fully enables you to run your practice seamlessly, and successfully.
