Mac-based EMR Solutions

Although Windows may be the norm, there is still a need and desire to have an EMR system for Mac. The Macintosh is a robust and powerful system which requires little to no regular maintenance...surely not a whole IT staff (depending on the size of the facility).

Below is a list of Mac-based EMR's. I haven't noted the CCHIT status because I wanted to make note of something. There is a growing debate about CCHIT and the potential for abuse of "power". Yes, there needs to be a standard but how flexible should that standard be in order to make it possible for older EMR's, which have been around for years, to stay alive? The CCHIT standards could force EMR programmers to bloat their software which would add signicant cost, which would then be passed onto the end user.

Check CCHIT status.

Read more about CCHIT and follow the growing debate.
