Electronic Medical Records / Practice Management

The implementation of an Electronic Medical Record solution is a daunting task even when committing full-time resources to the project. Also factor in that as a healthcare provider your focus needs to be on patient care and it is no wonder physicians feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of such an undertaking.

In addition to the project management and implementation demands of the Electronic Medical Record solution many physicians cite financial considerations as a prohibiting factor in the adoption of this technology. There are also Information Technology considerations such as creation of a new infrastructure or upgrading an existing one to support the EMR implementation.

At Oncore Associates we are committed to bringing you solutions designed to alleviate you of these burdens and allow you to focus on patient care. After all, isn't that why you chose to practice medicine?

Without even considering the possibility of stimulus money there are a myriad other reasons why the EMR solution is beneficial to your practice. Among them:

• Full automation of clinical documentation
• Solutions customized to you workflow
• Decision support tools
