Custom EHR & EMR Software Development Solutions

Patient portal, communication features, e-prescriptions, lab integration, security and compliance, enhanced interoperability, integration, customization, automation, reporting, billing, hierarchical access control, cloud computing, etc., are some key features to have in a robust EMR system. Together, these features streamline data access, administrative tasks, and communication among providers and reduce paperwork. It helps in the quick retrieval of patient health information and fosters informed decision-making. It promotes seamless coordination between departments, improves patient care, and boosts operational efficiency.

EMRs are digital versions of paper charts from the clinician’s office. It contains medical records and treatment histories of patients within a single practice. These are used by the providers themselves for treatment and diagnosis within their own practice. The data present here can’t be shared easily with other healthcare providers. On the contrary, EHRs share patient health information with other healthcare entities like laboratories and specialists. Basically, the information is shared with all the clinicians involved in the patient care. EHRs contain patients’ complete health information from multiple providers and healthcare organizations. It provides a holistic view of a patient’s health history.

The three key challenges and issues with EHR systems are interoperability, training, and implementation cost. Many EHR systems face interoperability issues due to the lack of standardized data formats and communication protocols. It tends to hinder information exchange between providers and healthcare systems. Before implementing EHR systems, the end users or staff must receive thorough training to use the system to its full potential. It becomes a time-consuming process for both management and staff. With the advancement in health information technology, EHR implementation costs become an expensive affair. During the implementation process, one can encounter unplanned expenses.

The timeline for developing and implementing EMR systems may vary on several factors, like the size of your practice, customization required, system selection, training, complexity of integration, location of the server (cloud-based or on-site), etc. If implemented for small practices, it may take around six to nine months, and for cloud-based systems, the duration cuts down to weeks.

There is no one ideal technology solution to develop EHR software systems. Every healthcare software development company uses its collection of technologies that it believes are ideal to solve its customers’ requirements. To give an idea about the commonly used technologies, we have provided a list. Under languages, one can use Python, Swift, JAVA, Javascript, etc. For databases, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. For framework and libraries, you get the options of Angular, Node.js, jQuery, and Django. For utilities, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and Cloudflare. Amazon EMR and Google Analytics can help for analytics purposes. Apache and Nginx can be used for web servers, and payment gateways, Paypal, Stripe, and Braintree are used.

Yes, OSP is efficient in providing training to the staff and helping the end users understand the new EMR system. Our customized training plans help in meeting specific requirements. If needed, we provide dedicated support channels like helplines, email, and chat support to address the raised concerns. Depending on the requirements, we customize our services to help organizations best use the EMR system.

Data migration from the legacy system to the new EMR system requires several steps. Usually, we make an audit, build up a migration plan, create a backup, and then develop the intended system. We create a new environment to check whether the database is compatible with it or not. It makes sure that it fits your organization’s objective. Once done, we test the new database and run the updated solution. Finally, via customer support, we help end users understand the new, updated system.

OSP’s healthcare software development services are focused on helping healthcare providers offer quality care. The software is customized to serve the unique requirements of healthcare organizations. Our tailored software seamlessly integrates with the current EMR system, ensuring adherence to regulatory compliance and providing better interoperability between the systems. It boosts data analytics by leveraging EMRs. As EMRs serve as a digital repository for patient health information, we ensure adopting robust security protocols and providing authority-based data access.

EHR systems contain a brief patient’s health history. It provides a centralized platform for healthcare providers to access and share patient’s health information with all the involved clinicians. Various tools are used to enhance the process of care coordination. We can custom-design software with a patient portal, appointment scheduling feature, and messaging system to allow real-time communication among providers. Our telehealth solutions facilitate virtual consultations and further enhance care coordination and accessibility.

We use open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to address the challenges of EHR interoperability. To facilitate collaboration with industry standards, we ensure that the EHR system aligns with widely accepted interoperability frameworks like HL7 and FHIR. It ensures that the protected health information (PHI) is securely shared and communicated between healthcare providers and entities.
