EMR or EHR - Which is it? |
|
 Since
the HIPAA deadlines have now come and gone, the majority of the
government's attention towards medicine in the United States seems
to be focused on Healthcare IT and specifically on the relatively
new buzzword - 'EHR.' For those of us who have been in the
industry for a number of years, you know that we have been calling
the systems designed to digitize medical records - 'EMRs' or
'Electronic Medical Records.' The term 'Electronic Health
Records' seems to be referring to the same thing, but are their
fundamental differences between an EMR and an EHR, or are we
all just talking about the same thing? More. |

Quote-of-the-Month |
"As
health information technology systems are developed, not
only will the quality of health care delivery improve
dramatically, but so will the quality of health care
overall. Some have estimated that over 90 percent of the
activity spent on delivering health care depends on the
exchange of information. With health information technology,
we will not only decrease the amount of time it takes to
exchange information, but we will greatly increase the
accuracy of the information we exchange."

counsel for the House Government Reform Subcommittee on the
Federal Workforce, 04.04.06 |

The InvestMed eNewsletter was developed as a resource for
healthcare and technology resellers to receive help, training, and

addresses a need for communication, information, and
education that wasn't currently being addressed by the
industry vendors as a whole. The InvestMed Monthly
eNewsletter reaches nearly 7000 healthcare and technology
industry professionals each month (via e-mail and the
Web) containing articles and
information written specifically for their unique
market. Additionally, InvestMed has branched out
into developing solutions for problems that the vendors
in the marketplace haven't addressed;
