Emdeons EHR interfaces with any practice management system

Emdeon Corp. highlighted at HIMSS06 last week in San Diego its Practice Services division, which helps physician practices meet the challenges of healthcare with innovative solutions, including electronic health records, encounter documentation, document and image management, and wireless and Internet connectivity. The division’s Intergy EHR solution was designed by physicians to work, think and move the way physicians do. Intergy can move practices to electronic health records without disrupting operations. With a seamless transition from a paper chart to a fully-integrated electronic record, Intergy EHR keeps track of multiple patients, open charts, laboratory results, electronic prescriptions, and more-all on one main screen that's intuitive and easy to use. Intergy EHR was designed to be flexible enough to integrate with any practice management tool a practice might already have in place.
