According to studies published in The New England Journal of Medicine, less than 2% of U.S. hospitals use electronic records in all departments and only 17% of doctors have functioning digital systems. However, the move to paperless systems is expected to accelerate over the next five years as the 2015 deadline for the adoption of digital medical records, imposed by the federal government, grows closer.
Many believe that the delay in going electronic is grounded in the fact that the hundreds of disparate Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems will not be able to communicate. In addition, many physician practices see no benefit in going electronic because they know there is currently no way to transport information outside of their system.
iMedicor represents the first critical step in achieving the goals of the new Administration by facilitating electronic communication among physicians, healthcare providers and patients at no cost. For the first time, this type of technology is accessible and affordable for every health care organization in the country.
The iMedicor portal offers real solutions for physicians, patients, medical office administrators, pharmaceutical companies and health systems.
