PDAs

PDA stands for personal digital assistant, that is a phone/fax, internet and has networking features all in a small handheld device. Typical PDAs have the functionality of: a cell phone, fax, web browser and personal organizer. PDAs today are available as a stylus (handwriting recognition) or keyboard. They also have voice recognition capabilities.

In addition to PDAs there are now iPhones. Similar to the PDA; however, the main difference is that everything is touch screen, and it is an apple product. Many EHR companies are aware of the popularity of this phone, therefore, they are making iPhone applications for their EHR software. That way, physicians are able to easily access information located within their EHR.

As a physician always on the go, it is important to see if the EHRs are compatible with PDAs and iPhones.

    I received recommendations from your site about 8-9 months ago, after answering 160 questions. I actually selected and purchased an EMR software program that your site recommended. I have been completely "live" with it for about 6 weeks and things are going well. It is the perfect program for me.

    After entering my practice parameters into the EMRConsultant.com algorithm I was provided with three choices for an EMR. We had all three provide demonstrations to us and we chose one of those three. What I liked about the program we chose is its versatility and flexibility, which is exactly one of the parameters I put into the algorithm. The EMR vendor has great customer service, and installation and training was almost a breeze. Physician's interested in an EMR without prior knowledge will greatly benefit from their algorithm.

    Your information was very helpful in providing us with a better understanding of the EMR industry, particularly as it relates to ARRA and the HITECH Act. I had no idea there were so many EHR/EMR vendors! We reviewed 10 vendors and selected one of those that you recommended. We are happy with our selection so far. Thank you!

    Working with Dr. Fishman was fantastic. His background as an actual physician EMR user makes his service particularly credible. He has a wealth of experience in health care IT that he generously shares with others. I would highly recommend emrconsultant to any organization looking for an EMR product today.
