House Calls for Healthcare Professionals: audio program

Thousands of American physicians are feeling the pressure to implement an electronic medical records (EMR) system. New payment schedules and government regulations are making it more and more difficult to practice medicine without one. But selecting an EMR solution for your practice is complicated. You want a solution that is flexible, intuitive, and easy to learn, as well as one that's reliable and built on industry standards.

In this edition of House Calls, Bill Crounse, M.D., and his guests discuss how EMR systems can benefit practices and patients alike. We'll look at how one EMR vendor, gloStream, has taken a unique approach that has proven successful for practices such as Family Orthopedic Associates of Flint, Michigan, a large orthopedic group specializing in clinical diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.
