What if doctors design their own EMR
Healthcare is one of the fields that go through significant changes thanks to digitalization.
New technologies simplify the consultation
process, help doctors manage healthcare data
and move all patient-physician interactions to a
brand new level.
While developing your own EMR is a very nice thing because you are able to customize the process exactly the way you like.
Find a technology partner who has in-depth experience in the healthcare industry and understands the unique challenges of managing healthcare practice, who will become a trusted advisor, helping you get the most out of the EMR solution and help you achieve your strategic goals.
EHR development from scratch is the way for healthcare organizations and medical startups who would like to build their own web-based EHR system.
This option seems to be the only available way when you need to get full control over your EMR software features including user-friendly design, scale your system as your business grows or to enter a market with a new EMR system.
With your own custom EMR you don’t need to pay license fees and don’t have "per provider" access restrictions, and you are protected from switching / changing EMR system (relevant for healthcare providers).
It is obvious that the main reason why medical practice owners create their own custom EHRs is the dissatisfaction with the boxed solutions from the EMR software companies.
Pre-built EHR systems have numerous disadvantages. The main thing is it forces your doctors to fit predefined limitations. You have to change your workflow to adjust to the new software.
Moreover, you will not be able to easily modify it over time to maintain a high productivity rate. The ready-made EHR software targets a wide range of consumers and it is not cost-effective for EHR product vendors to customize it for specific customers.
A custom-built EHR and the complementary support prevents the switching problem because you can just update the system you already have.
