Out With The Old, In with The New. Why You Need a Well Planned And Integrated Patient Portal

It has become second nature for us to flock to the Internet to communicate with friends and family. With technology advancing at an unprecedented speed, patients are also demanding instant access to their medical data and healthcare providers… at any time and from any place, via laptops, tablets and smart phones.

We at WRS Health greatly appreciate the opportunity to hear what our clients are saying about our system, staff and service and we would like to share some of these responses and experiences with you, the blogging community.

If you are thinking of switching EMR systems, you are not alone. According to an April 2014 Buyers Report by review site Software Advice (see the WRS Health profile here), 40% of new EMR purchases are by buyers replacing their current systems.

WRS Health's cloud-based solutions eliminate the start-up expenses associated with switching your Health IT Platform, regardless of the number of locations, providers or specialties your large practice has.

Most providers are not reading the software licenses and understanding that if something bad happens, the free EHR vendor is not going to take the liability. And patients have no idea that their doctor is selling their patient data (which is what is really going on) in exchange for a “free” EHR.
