smatData's EMR Software Allows You Manage Patient-Data Effortlessly

Are you a health practitioner in the USA?

If yes then you must get a HL7 certified EMR software.

HL7 is an international community that creates standards for the exchange, management and integration of electronic healthcare information. With the introduction of the ARRA and HITECH acts by the US government, the HL7 standards have gained a lot of importance.

It has been made mandatory for all health facilities to convert their patient records into electronic format, which technically known as Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). This makes it necessary for every clinic, hospital or say every doctor to have an EMR system, accredited according the HL7 standards, to manage all the patient information.

The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) of the USA has developed an open-source program called Laika to test and certify the HIT products such as EHR software for compliance with HL7 standards.

The key purposes of the HL7 standards are:

1. Health information exchange between a doctor's cabin, lab, and hospital
2. Streamlining patient care
3. Reduction of errors during treatment

Implementing an EMR software with a physician’s work process is a complex task. Often, the in-house health administrators do not have the expertise to manage the technicalities involved. So it is recommended to strive for an EMR software that can help you optimize your patient details. Such EMR software creates an integrated technology framework that lets the doctor or any healthcare practitioner to electronically share information with the hospital and the lab.

An EMR interface must comply with the HL7 standards; moreover, it should be user-friendly and should get easily integrated with different hardware and software systems. Hence today, several IT firms and software developers are engaged in providing EMR software to manage the patient data.
