Overview
Clinic management system is computer software products that coordinate and integrate all the inherent activities involved in the management and running of a healthcare facility. They must meet specified security, technology and functionality standards for managing electronic medical records and practice management information. Some systems maintain the complete Patient Information coupled with the Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Medical billing, EDI / HCFA claim sending and meeting the stipulated security, technology & functional standards.
In Ontario, these standards, developed with the assistance of Ontario physicians, are managed by OntarioMD.
