The most significant advantage of having cloud based Electronic Medical Records is low-cost.

Research has suggested that using cloud-based solutions can be approximately 9 times cheaper than purchasing software and hardware up front. Cloud services also remove the need to purchase additional software licenses for different users and workstations.

 

There is practically minimal hardware required to purchase with cloud services since the data is going to be hosted, maintained and upgraded on the vendor’s hosted servers.

You will only be required to have the basic computer that essentially runs the software so you can access, store and retrieve data whenever and wherever you like. Most, if not all vendors provide the service with free upgrades which are conducted through their personnel, leaving you satisfied and not worry about upgrading your system the next year.

 

The same vendors also provide the option of free maintenance which means that all maintenance done on your Electronic Medical Records are performed free of cost. Sometimes, maintenance Is also planned after the providers usual working hours so that there are no distractions and disruptions to their workflows. Another advantage of having cloud services is the fact that since data is hosted on servers maintained by the vendors, it is their responsibility to fix the servers in case there is some problem with the hardware.
