EMR & EHR buying FAQ
What's the difference between EMR and EHR?
An EMR (electronic medical record) is a digital version of a single practice's paper charts. An EHR (electronic health record) is broader, designed to be shared across providers and organizations. Most modern systems marketed as "EMR" today actually include EHR-level sharing capability.
Is EMR software HIPAA compliant by default?
No system is automatically compliant — compliance depends on how the software is configured and used, including access controls, audit logs, and business associate agreements (BAAs) with the vendor. Always confirm a vendor will sign a BAA before purchasing.
What about Canadian privacy requirements?
Practices operating in Canada need to consider provincial health information legislation (such as PHIPA in Ontario) alongside federal PIPEDA requirements. Look for vendors with explicit data residency options and provincial compliance documentation.
How much does EMR/EHR software typically cost?
Pricing varies widely by deployment model, practice size, and specialty — typically ranging from per-provider monthly subscriptions for small practices to custom enterprise contracts for multi-location groups. Get matched to receive pricing specific to your situation.
