Virus Protection

A virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your permission/knowledge. Once loaded, it begins to replicate within your computer, occupying all of your available memory and attaching itself to other programs. This will result in your system to cease working.

All computer viruses are manmade and therefore, there are several varieties. Depending on the type of virus, it may have the ability to bypass security systems and transmit across networks.

Virus Protection is a software program that is installed on your computer to prevent viruses.

This is an important element to consider when implementing an EHR. You are dealing with patient encounters, and would NEVER want a virus to load onto your computer. Imagine if all of the files had to be erased on your computer? This can be detrimental to your practice if you do not have your files backed up.

There are several different virus protection programs. Some examples include:

  • Norton Antivirus
  • McAfee Virus Protection
  • Shield Deluxe 2009
  • Webroot 6.0

    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.
