EMR vs. Medical Billing Software
Summary: The purpose of this paper is to highlight eight major
shifts in the landscape of Medical Practice Management
(MPM), and to provide intelligence toward selecting software for your
healthcare practice, specifically medical billing software.
Today’s health providers have more choices than ever when it comes to
practice software. But government pressure to bill electronically along
with constant changes to Medicare have necessitated a minimalist
approach toward software investments by doctors and healthcare
providers. Fortunately, the last 3-4 years have seen a significant rise in
the number of practice management solutions that are more adaptive and
aimed specifically at the needs of smaller practices. The result is more
streamlined solutions that are lower in cost and are better suited to a
small office – practices with 1-8 health providers.

8 Major Shifts In Practice Management
1. A Windows Revolution: It seems that Bill was right. Steady
advances in the Windows Developer’s Platform are responsible for shorter
and shorter development times and are allowing the introduction of
products that are more adaptive, more streamlined, simpler to use, and
easier to learn. Products that are “Native” to Windows now share many of the excellent user friendly features common to Windows.
This is in contrast to many older and well known medical billing programs
that were originally based on DOS but were later adapted to Windows.
Office staff using these older converted systems report a low level of
satisfaction. MPMSOFT Billing Software is native to Windows and shares
a host of its rich features and user friendly attributes.
QUESTION: – What makes
practice software so expensive?
and: Are the prices justified?
