Why You Need an EHR Instead of an EMR

Are you looking for an electronic medical record (EMR) or are you looking for an Electronic Health Record (EHR)?

Here at Sevocity, we believe you need an EHR. The critical distinction between EHR and EMR solutions is that EHRs are designed to include and easily share patient information between health care providers. We believe that the willingness and ability to share patient information is fundamental to the promise that electronic health information has for improving the health care of millions of Americans. That's why we are committed to the concept of the Electronic Health Record and the advantages of the EHR over that of the Electronic Medical Record. We are so committed to this vision that, unlike other vendors, we offer state immunization and HIE (Health Information Exchange), the HL7 practice management/billing and one HL7 lab interface at no charge to our customers.

No one has developed a widely held standard for an Electronic Health Record (EHR) or an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) or the difference between EHR and EMR. However, there are perceived differences between EHRs and an EMRs. Read below:
