Practice Management Systems

Practice management systems (PMSs) are currently the most common HIT used in physician practices today. They provide the “business” functions for an office such as scheduling, registration, encounter form generation, billing and receivables management. Because PMS have been adopted by many physicians, they are not addressed in detail on this HIT site. Many EMR systems include a practice management module so as to integrate all of the major office functions in one system. Having a tight integration between these systems will avoid duplicate entry of information, improve patient care and streamline your practice management.
