Now, by adding clinical practice tools to existing administrative functionality, today’s EMR software helps practitioners and their administrative staff escape the paper chase. The end-result? No more lost lab results and duplicate tests, less need for office space, and improved collaboration with specialists, all contributing to more informed and personalized care for your patients.
