A Review of Some Software Solutions
As the deadline for implementation in the US draws near, talk of electronic medical records (EMR) and electronic health records (EHR) software is a hot topic at the doctor’s office lately.
These systems assist medical practitioners in the creation, storage, and organization of electronic medical records, including patient charts, electronic prescriptions, lab orders, and evaluations (just to name a few common features).
While the terms “EMR” and “EHR” are often used interchangeably, EMR solutions allow for patient information to be shared within one health care organization, whereas EHR solutions allow for health-related records to be shared across multiple organizations.
Assessment
Above is a look at some of the most popular options in both categories, but to see a comprehensive list, visit the EMR Software Directory.

Demand Honesty
he ONC declares that it is no longer unprofessional for dentists to demand honesty from EHR stakeholders, Doc.
Even though this dentist’s concerns about the lousy security of electronic dental records have been censored, evaded and otherwise ignored by stakeholders for over 6 years, even the ONC now says dentists should demand answers from EDR vendors. Truth floats after all.
“Pritts: Press EHR Vendors for Answers – Demand Information on Privacy, Security” by Howard Anderson was posted today on HealthcareInfoSecurity today.
http://www.healthcareinfosecurity.com/pritts-press-ehr-vendors-for-answers-a-5153?rf=2012-10-02-eh&elq=7c5b08d59c2c4c279067fad8fed50125&elqCampaignId=4696
“Hospitals and physician groups implementing electronic health records need to take the initiative to make sure that their EHR vendors are adequately addressing privacy and security issues, says Joy Pritts, chief privacy officer at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT.” Anderson adds, “ONC, a unit of the Department of Health and Human Services, is taking a leadership role in the HITECH Act electronic health record incentive program.”
So of all the unaccountable EDR stakeholders in dentistry who have recklessly promoted the adoption of EDRs for power and/or profit, which one do you think will be the hero and finally acknowledge that EDRs are undeniably more dangerous for dentists and patients than paper dental records?
God bless America, and God bless the ONC.
