Today, EMR software have become a must have for clinics and hospitals. Even the US government has made it compulsory for the physicians treating medicare and medicaid patients. Truly speaking, the advantages of a successful implementation of emr are huge. The software promises to make life easier for both doctors as well as patients. However, there are a no. of hurdles in the process of emr implementation and one such being high initial investment.
There are many vendors offering different versions of emr software including free emrs available for installation. However, one needs to be very careful as far as choosing emr is concerned. The first step in the process of implementation starts with choosing the right emr for the practice. A free emr is a basic emr which only serves as an electronic filing cabinet and does not provide for any additional benefits. Also there are doubts that a free emr would comply with HIPAA guidelines. Also there is hardly any support available after installation, which is very much required to adapt to the newer system. Hence, the question "Is Free EMR Software Worthful?" is worth thinking 10 times.
