""We made the transition in just one weekend, four years ago. Since then, the expenses have fallen and the EMR-based system has paid for itself."
- Dr. Rickard Potter-Cogan
"There is a lot that you can do with an EMR system such as developing your own templates, making referrals with full summaries and even accessing records from home if you have to."
-Dr. Francois Bosman
"I have incredible flexibility in where I do my work. I can monitor lab reports from anywhere."
- Dr. Leo Wong
"Since we implemented the electronic system, we have about four bags of old charts shredded every month. Currently, they already have four practices on five DVDs and in the months to come there will be no more huge files that you have to leaf through to find clinical information."
- Dr. Ken Burns
"I have all the patient information in one spot now. I don’t have to fill in the forms by hand anymore and I can finish everything in a matter of minutes instead of hours. I would never go back to paper charts."
- Dr. Joshua Greggain
"Due to the EMR, I work twice as fast as before the switch to the electronic system and I am really enjoying my new work / life balance."
- Dr. Herman Greeff
"Research what your needs are, have a clear idea of what you want – some programs are better with billing, others are better at doing CDM; visit other clinics that are operating on an EMR and ask for feedback and references before you take a decision."
- Dr. Karen Forgie
