Web Based Electronic Medical Records & Medical Practice Management System


A web based Electronic Medical Records (EMR) & Medical practice Management system.

The software intended to be develop is an online web based Medical Practice Management system intended to computerize the clinic and provide a seam less integration of its various processes.

The application should facilitate input, storage, transfer and retrieval of medical information within a practice and enables interfacing with other data providers outside the practice.

The application aims to expedite record keeping processes and enable doctors to retrieve and input Patient Data, Medical Data, Analysis Reports etc., anywhere and anytime from a PC. Also the application should provide electronic capabilities for routine tasks related to clinical data( Such as Patient Registration, Search for Patient Transcription, imaging, Messaging and Prescription writing, Staging of Cancer, Suggestion of Relevant Regimens based upon Staging, as well as a wireless point-of-care solution for Doctors in the examination room.
