Electronic Health Records EHR -- Research Paper

All three systems typically require a practice to install the EHR software onto on-site servers, although they all appear to require only standard "off-the-shelf" hardware, and all of them also offer Application Service Provider (ASP) access as an option. (McKesson, 2010, General Electric Corporation, 2010, Sage 2010). Because all three systems are applications that reside on the practice's hardware, back-up of the server data seems to fall on the shoulders of the practice itself to manage this process (Compliant Backup, 2010).

Among special additional features, Practice Partner offers "BrightNote" technology allowing physicians to dictate patient information, which then populates discrete data in different parts of the patient's chart automatically (McKesson, 2010). GE Centricity offers a Medical Quality Improvement Consortium that allows a practice to consolidate and benchmark quality of care measures (General Electric Corporation, 2010). Sage Intergy includes a set of online "marketing" tools that allow a practice to send newsletters and other information to its patients. (Sage, 2010).

With so many different systems on the market today -- more than 200 (Adler, 2005) -- many of which are relatively comparable in quality and functionality, each practice needs to evaluate which product best suits its technical environment, workflow, and clinical needs.
