​Top Considerations for Choosing Orthopedic EMR Software
​Orthopedic practices need to have electronic medical record (EMR) software that is specifically designed for their specialty. This is because orthopedics has unique needs when it comes to documentation, diagnosis, treatment, and billing. In this blog post, we will discuss the top considerations for choosing the best EMR software for small practices in orthopedics. We will cover top-rated electronic medical record systems, cloud-based EMR software solutions, specialty-specific EMR software providers, and EMR software with integrated billing and coding.
Specialty-specific EMR Software Providers
​Orthopedic EMR software should be designed by a company that specializes in creating EMR software for orthopedic practices. The software should be tailored to the unique needs of the orthopedic specialty, including the ability to track patient outcomes, manage imaging studies, and automate surgical workflows. Providers like Modernizing Medicine and NextGen Healthcare offer orthopedic-specific EMR software.
​Cloud-based EMR Software Solutions
​Cloud-based EMR software solutions offer many benefits for orthopedic practices. They are accessible from any device with an internet connection, making it easy for physicians to access patient records from anywhere. Cloud-based solutions also allow for easy upgrades and maintenance, as the provider can update the software remotely. Providers like Practice Fusion and Kareo offer cloud-based EMR software solutions.
​User-Friendly Interface
​Orthopedic EMR software should be easy to use and navigate. A user-friendly interface will save time and reduce frustration for physicians and staff. Look for software with customizable templates, drag-and-drop functionality, and intuitive navigation. Providers like Athenahealth and eClinicalWorks offer user-friendly interfaces.

​Integrated Billing and Coding
​Orthopedic practices need software that can handle billing and coding, as these tasks are critical for practice revenue. The ideal EMR software will have integrated billing and coding functionality, streamlining the process and reducing errors. Providers like AdvancedMD and Kareo offer integrated billing and coding.
​Electronic Prescription Capability
​Orthopedic practices need to be able to prescribe medications electronically. This feature not only saves time but also reduces errors and enhances patient safety. Look for software that allows for electronic prescribing and has a database of common orthopedic medications. Providers like CureMD and Meditab offer electronic prescription capability.
Patient Portal
​A patient portal is a secure online platform where patients can access their medical records, communicate with their physician, and schedule appointments. Orthopedic practices should choose EMR software that offers a patient portal to improve patient engagement and satisfaction. Providers like Practice Fusion and Greenway Health offer patient portals.
​Imaging and Diagnostic Test Management
​Orthopedic practices often rely on imaging studies and diagnostic tests to diagnose and treat patients. EMR software should have the ability to manage and store these images and reports securely. Look for software that has imaging and diagnostic test management capabilities. Providers like Modernizing Medicine and Kareo offer imaging and diagnostic test management.

​Customizable Templates
​Orthopedic practices have unique documentation needs that may not be met by generic EMR templates. The ideal EMR software will allow for customization of templates to match the specific needs of the practice. Providers like NextGen Healthcare and Athenahealth offer customizable templates.
Quality Reporting
​Orthopedic practices need to report quality measures to meet regulatory requirements and to demonstrate the quality of care provided to patients. EMR software should have quality reporting capabilities to streamline the process. Providers like eClinicalWorks and AdvancedMD offer quality reporting.
Mobile App Access
​Orthopedic physicians may need to access patient records on the go. EMR software should have a mobile app that allows physicians to access patient records securely from their smartphone or tablet.
