Cloud EMR computing

Medical record SaaS

Medscribbler Cloud is a true Internet based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for both small independent clinical practices and larger mobile home care businesses. Offering a combination of clinical processor and practice management, Medscribbler Cloud addresses the challenges of limited time and information technology support facing small practices by offering advanced technology that is simple to use and even simpler to deploy. For mobile practices Medscribbler Cloud optimizes network speed and management.

The up-front investment in time and resources is minimized for a very economical transition to digitized medical records. The intuitive nature of the user friendly interface allows almost immediate use. Maintenance and data security are provided by Medscribbler IT specialists. Support is complete and on-going as needed. For mobile practices multiple locations are easily handled and for independent providers home and office access to records is included.

Physician practices looking for an affordable solution to help them go digital quickly, minimizing or eliminating the disruptions of lengthy implementation and training times find the solution in Medscribbler Cloud. Automation of practices with the Medscribbler SaaS helps providers by efficiently helping to improve patient care. Because of the simplicity of implementation and the intuitive interface that minimizes workflow changes the small practice can efficiently increase practice patient load for a better bottom line. Medscribbler Cloud is the only EMR clinical processor that can make this claim.

Software as a service is software that is deployed over the Internet to run securely at your local office network or on your personal computer. With SaaS, Medscribbler is licensed to providers as a service on demand, through a subscription or a “pay-as-you-go” model. SaaS is also called “software on demand” and has become commonplace for many businesses.

A recent report from Forrester, “The ROI of Software-As-A-Service,” examined a range of companies that chose SaaS solutions and found that SaaS results in long-term value. Companies interviewed for the report cited several reasons for a positive return on investment of SaaS: rapid deployment, increased user adoption, reduced support needs, lower implementation costs and ease of upgrade deployment.

There are many advantages of Medscribbler Cloud as SaaS:

• Cost is greatly reduced and capital expenditure is converted to operational expenditure. This ostensibly lowers barriers to entry, as infrastructure is typically provided by Medscribbler and does not need to be purchased for the intensive server computing task. Fewer IT skills are required for implementation or needed for “in-house” IT management.
• Location independence enables users to access Medscribbler regardless of their location. As core infrastructure is off-site and accessed via the Internet, users can connect from anywhere.
• Centralization of infrastructure allows for lower costs, peak-load capacity increases (users need not engineer for highest possible load-levels) and utilization and efficiency improvements for computer systems that are often only 10–20% utilized.
• Reliability is improved by multiple redundant sites being used, which makes Medscribbler’s well designed cloud computing suitable for business continuity and disaster recovery. Nonetheless, many cloud computing services can suffer outages, often due to the “final yard” of local Internet services and office networks.
• Scalability via dynamic ("on-demand") provisioning of resources in near real-time, without users having to engineer for peak loads or future expansion. Performance is monitored performance bottlenecks overcome quickly and efficiently.
• Security is improved due to centralization of data and increased security-focused IT resources, but concerns can persist about loss of control over patient data. Security is as good as or better than under traditional systems, in part because Medscribbler devotes resources to solving security issues that many customers cannot afford. For mobile home care businesses the complexity of security is greatly increased when data is distributed over a wider area and / or number of devices. Medscribbler Cloud provides the security expertise needed.
• Maintenance of cloud computing applications are easier to maintain. They are easier to support and to improve since the changes can reach the clients instantly.
