The healthcare industry has come a long way from paper charts to electronic health records (EHRs). While some healthcare providers have fully embraced the transition, others are still reluctant to make the move. But with the increasing use of technology in all aspects of our lives, is transitioning to EHRs really a smart move for healthcare organizations?
What are electronic health records?
An EHR is a digital version of a patient's paper chart.

If your company is in the healthcare industry or provides medical services, you are required to comply with HIPAA regulations. In this article, we’ll talk about what HIPAA is, and what being HIPAA-compliant means to your business.
What is HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that establishes national standards to safeguard sensitive patient health information from being released without permission.

Electronic medical record (EMR) systems enable healthcare providers to store patients’ medical and treatment histories in digital formats. These solutions eliminate the need for several complex paper charts and allow medical professionals to provide patients with efficient and precise care.
