EHR and practice management for charting, coding, claims and scheduling.
Manufacturer Directory · Practice systems
Practice Technology the software layer that runs the clinic.
Electronic records, practice management, imaging integration and patient commerce decide how smoothly a practice runs. This guide frames the categories, points to the official certification list for EHRs and shows where Vision Rescue tools fit.
Quick answer
Certification matters for Medicare reporting.
Clinicians reporting the MIPS Promoting Interoperability category must use certified EHR technology. The government's Certified Health IT Product List shows which product versions are certified. Beyond the EHR, practices add tools for imaging, communication and online sales.
Key takeaways
- Check any EHR against the ONC Certified Health IT Product List.
- MIPS Promoting Interoperability requires certified EHR technology.
- Confirm imaging devices can export into your EHR.
- Use online ordering to keep patient product sales with the practice.
- Plan integrations before buying new diagnostic equipment.
