50% + of providers are utilizing an EMR Solution
Feb 10, 2013
According to preliminary estimates from a CDC survey, 2010 was the first year that more than half of office-based physicians had any kind of electronic medical records system. Minnesota led the nation with more than 80% of physicians, while use was lowest in Kentucky, with slightly more than 38%. But fewer than a quarter of doctors were using a “basic” EMR system, with several components. Utah had the highest percentage of physicians with a basic system at almost 52%, while Maryland had the lowest — less than 13%.
How does your state rank in these findings? What has your practice done to implement an EMR solution and qualify for the incentive by December of 2011? In our opinion, the time is now to find the right EMR Software for your practice.

"My husband and I have a small practice but we were looking for a medical billing company to consult us. We originally started with a local company with some satisfaction. However, our biggest problem was that they wanted us to change our existing EMR to software that they worked with. Quest National Services worked with our existing software so that we didn’t have to make expensive changes to our infrastructure. That saved us a lot of time and headache. I would definitely say that was one of the main reasons for why we switched and why we continue to work with Quest. As a small practice, they helped us without draining our resources."
