Of all the functions in health facilities, patient care should be the main mission around which everything else revolves. Physicians and medical practice managers who recognize this continuously adopt measures to put patient care at the heart of their practices, and it pays. It is widely recognized that integration of medical practice management software can enhance patient care and improve outcomes. While the price of purchasing and implementing technology in a medical practice can be significant, the benefits outweigh the costs. With better-organized patient records, bookings, treatment processes, and improved efficiency in billing, errors are reduced and profitability is enhanced.

One of the challenges by neurologists who want to implement the use of electronic health records (EHR) is find an application designed especially to fit the workflow and needs of a neurology practice. Since neurology is a medical specialty area that relies heavily on the use of a variety of medical imaging techniques, the EHR software a neurology practice uses must be able to handle storing these images. The EHR software should follow Digital Image Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard for handling, transmitting, printing, and storing medical records.

Adopting Electronic Health Records Electronic health records (EHR) refer to data about a person or a population's health status stored in a digital format for convenient access and amendment. One prominent example of electronic health records are medical histories, while radiology information systems comprise a slightly more obscure example. The adoption of electronic health records helps improve the quality of care for patients and can lower costs for the medical practice using those systems.
