Of course, given that the EHR has been properly selected/implemented or developed/deployed, and maintained.
✅ What is the fastest way to build an EHR system for healthcare organization?
The fastest way for healthcare organizations: implementation of a ready-to-use EHR application (whether commercially licensed EHR or open source EHR) and its further step-by-step targeted on-demand customization (changing user interfaces, creating specialty-specific templates (for orthopedic EHR or other specialities), adding integrations with practice management system, picture archiving system, referral management system, labs, billing, patient portal, etc. or meeting the requirements of an external system).
Not every ready-to-use electronic health records program is ready for cost-effective customization. An experienced EHR consultant could be helpful when selecting ready-to-implementation-and-customization EHR system or company that sells electronic health record systems tailored to your business needs.
✅ What is the fastest way to build completely new EHR platform for medical startups?
The fastest way to start EHR business and get the seed-stage funding: the minimum viable product (MVP) of an EHR system, the EMR prototype, and the Proof-of-concept (PoC) of an EHR computer software.
✅ How to build your own EHR system?
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 EHR software features including user-friendly design, scale your system as your business grows or to enter a market with a new EHR system. With your own custom EHR you don’t need to pay license fees and don’t have “per provider” access restrictions, and you are protected from switching / changing EHR system (relevant for healthcare providers).
