Itransition provides a full range of EMR/EHR services, including consulting, auditing, software development, customization, support, modernization, and healthcare data migration.
Electronic health records (EHR) contain patient health records, test results, and prescriptions and can be managed by personnel and patients. Meanwhile, electronic medical records (EMR) serve as a digital bedside chart with medical history relevant only to a particular department or practitioner.

Choosing your EHR type and deployment model
Determining the type of solution and its deployment model that fits your organization’s needs, resources, and budget beforehand will make shopping for EHR software easier.
Cloud vs On-premise
Many providers swear by cloud-based EHR software, which is quicker to implement, comes at a lower upfront cost, and can be accessed outside of the facility. Others, meanwhile, prefer on-premise solutions because they do not require 24/7 internet connection, offer reliable patient information protection, and lower annual fees.
Custom EHR vs Off-the shelf vs Open-source
A plug-and-play commercial EHR is efficient for healthcare organizations that require a quick setup, don’t need a lot of customization, and can afford to pay an annual fee to use it. On the other hand, open-source EHR software fits tech-savvy providers seeking a cheaper and more transparent solution. Customly developed systems are the third option, which is more expensive, but combines the best traits of off-the-shelf and open-source EHRs.
We perform EHR/EMR integration with other internal and external digital solutions in your hospital to create a unified medical ecosystem, streamline routine operations, enhance the system’s usability, and eliminate any data exchange obstacles. Our expertise with various kinds of medical software places us among the top EHR/EMR integration companies.
