What type of software is the most popular among healthcare providers?
Each provider tailors the healthcare IT infrastructure according to the specific needs of their practice, care routines, patient needs, etc. Based on my experience, EHR became a must-have both among inpatient and outpatient healthcare providers. It serves as a virtual hub for multiple internal operations: from care planning to billing and insurance verification. The other common apps for hospitals and outpatient clinics are practice management solutions, telemedicine apps, and medical imaging software.
