Both web based EMR software and client-server based EMR software systems have their own advantages and disadvantages. The choice between these two variations of EMR software depends on your specific requirements and situation.
What is Web based EMR?The EMR software application runs on a remote server that is accessible over the internet via a browser like Internet Explorer and Firefox. In this mode, you do not own the software; it resembles an auto lease whereby you pay monthly fee for the right to use the software.
Advantages of web based EMR Software
Security: The security offered by the provider of web based EMR is very strong and more than meets the requirements of HIPAA. In fact, it more often than not will be more secure than what small clinics can provide within their premises.
- Server maintenance: You are not responsible for ongoing maintenance of the server. It is taken care of by a professionally competent IT company.
- Initial investment: Since you do not invest money in buying expensive hardware and software (servers and databases), initial investment is very low and is confined to implementation costs and some light weight workstations.
- Operating cost: The monthly fee incurred on use of web based EMR software systems can be written off as operating cost and is not treated as a capital expenditure.
- Access from anywhere: You have access from any where in the world that has internet connectivity. Your physical location is not a constraint.
- Data protection: The vendor of the web based EMR software system is responsible for ensuring that your data is protected against hardware and software failures. This often requires use of expensive fault-tolerant hardware and sophisticated data backup software.
- No installation or upgrades: You do not have to install the EMR software or any of the upgrades. It is all handled by the vendor of web based EMR software.
- Multiple locations: If you operate from multiple locations, then instead of creating a dedicated WAN which will be quite expensive, web based EMR system may be the best option, provided you have high speed connectivity from all the satellite locations.
If you have high speed connectivity which is reliable and provides consistent uploading and downloading speeds and you do not stay in areas frequented by cyclones or other forces of nature, then web based EMR is your best ambulatory EMR option.
