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.
If you are ready to get an EMR for the first time, or thinking of switching your EMR in favor of one that is free, don’t ignore the yellow flashing lights. Don’t let the word “free” blind you to the more sobering facts. Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch and this is especially true when it comes to EMR software for your practice.
