It is said that information technology is changing the world and so is the healthcare industry. New age health IT tools like EMR software are all set to transform the healthcare industry. However, its a tough decision for any healthcare professional or hospital to think about EMR software implementation. It involves a no. of considerations on the part of healthcare professionals as well as hospitals. At first, the question is all about the cost of purchasing the hardware, software license and training. The other most difficult thing being ... switching from age old manual system to the new age hi-tech application. 

It becomes really very difficult to unlearn something and to learn newer way and means of accomplishing certain tasks. At times, the EMR software may result into consumption of more time and money as compared to older manual system as it involves training time and cost. It is always a touch decision to implement something new, however, the important thing is that we need to weigh both the sides advantages and disadvantages. As far as EMR (electronic medical records) software is considered there could be some inital cost of implementation and time spent on training but the long term benefits of implementation are huge. EMR software implementation may be a touch but a fruitful decision for the long run.
