According to the Medical Billing Advocates of America, 8 out of every 10 healthcare bills contain at least one error. The errors that are being detected are costing patients unnecessary costs for services, and they are even being charged for services they did not receive.
Hospitals and practices need to focus on patient-centered billing. Patients should not be seeking an outside source to decipher their medical bills. These facilities should accommodate their patients, and provide them with the necessary tools to understand their medical bills.

According to research from KLAS, physicians are considering a multitude of vendors when searching for an EMR system. These physicians are planning to purchase from an EMR vendor within the next two years, and are not only looking at the larger vendors, but the smaller ones as well.
The report also discovered that nearly a third of these physicians are replacing an existing solution due to their current software's efficiency and the increasing demands of the healthcare IT industry. Physicians want to ensure they are selecting the best EMR solution to optimize their work flow and increase revenue.
