When you run a multi-facility practice, the patient’s charts can be located from multiple places, viz., at the clinic, at patient’s home, etc. depending upon where you do patient consult. Online web based EHRs saves staff time; used for searching for old patient records, entering charges manually, etc. This saved time can be utilized to provide value-added services and reduces overtime charges.
