The adoption of EMRs is growing strongly. EMRs help physicians manage the relationships with their patients and accurately track their medical history. The objectives of EMRs can be lofty – creating a connected healthcare community – yet they are also practical – deliver high quality, efficient patient care.

The approach that your organization takes to implement interfaces to a referring physician’s EMR will translate into how your organization is viewed by that physician. Establishing close, long-term relationships can sometimes be challenging. The interface approach that you take may be a determining factor in how long-term that physician relationship is.
