Why Us?
| Legacy Systems (client/server) | EMRLD (Web ASP) |
| Server Hardware | |
| Costly servers, storage, and backup systems. Server systems are complex, requiring high-density, redundant data storage, regular backups, and significant maintenance. And, they should be housed in an environmentally controlled room under lock and key. Yet, these servers — with critical practice data — often end up under a desk or in a closet, with little or no protection and control. | Nothing. Your office’s data is stored on state-of-the-art servers with security that meets or exceeds HIPAA requirements. In addition, all servers are locked, firewalled; environment-controlled, and continuously backed up to maximize security, longevity, and performance. All you need is a PC and Internet access! |
| Installation & Setup | |
| Significant time and expense. Significant technical resources are required to install and configure server-based networks, typically involving several days of service, travel costs, and office interruption. Additionally, the cost to maintain those servers, networks, and any other special computers add to the ongoing expense. | Speedy deployment with no installation required. All you need is an internet connection and your EMRLD username and password to get started. And with our easy Guided Setup and some convenient online training, you’ll be able to set up your account in short order — no technical consultants or onsite visits required! |
| Time required to be “Up and running” | |
| Weeks and/or months. A typical system takes 1-3 months to setup, install, and configure — all before you can even start training. Add to that disruptive onsite training, and you’re looking at a lengthy time commitment before you can begin to realize any improvements a new system may bring. | As quickly as a week! We’ll give you your login in just a few days. That means you can start training whenever you’re ready! |
| Software Upgrades | |
| Cost, hassles and headaches! Once you pay the additional fees to purchase the upgrade, you’ll need to schedule your consultant to come onsite and upgrade every machine. Add to that the cost of downtime and office disruption, and you have a huge, costly headache. Besides, when was the last time you had a software upgrade go smoothly? | Simple, easy, while you sleep! EMRLD checks for upgrades remotely every time to start the application. So you’re always up to data You’ll wonder why anyone else didn’t think of this sooner… |
| Security | |
| A scary proposition. With all the HIPAA-regulated data on your premises, you’re responsible for all the security and privacy measures to protect both physical access and network access to that data. Unless you enjoy being a network technician in your spare time, it’s a daunting task. | 100% HIPAA compliant! EMRLD completely manages security of your data, and provides excellent privacy features as well to help you be 100% HIPAA compliant — all the time. |
| Timeliness of Upgrades | |
| When it suits the software company. With traditional software, it’s costly to print and distribute upgrades on CD. As a result, minor bug nuisances are put off until the next major release. Even smaller maintenance releases require downtime and installation on each machine. | As customers dictate, and as often as necessary! Because we’re Internet-based, EMRLD can deploy bug fixes to our software almost as soon as we find them, sometimes by the next day! And, as usual, you don’t have to do or pay anything. |
