Ease of use
When developing EHR or EMR software, we focus on human-centric design, convenience for medical staff, software performance. The software can also be compatible with mobile devices.
Interoperability
We develop EHR software according to the standards on healthcare information exchange (e.g., HL7, FHIR, XDS/XDS-I) to ensure seamless communication with healthcare IT systems.
Advanced technologies
We create efficient EHRs by implementing technologies like data analytics (e.g., for diagnostic assistance), blockchain (for secure medical data exchange), AI (for medication prescription, etc.), and more.
Regulatory compliance
We follow all relevant regulations and requirements (e.g., HIPAA, CEHRT, SAFER, MACRA), implement the required technical safeguards when designing EHR architecture, and conduct security testing.
EHR market entry consulting
We help you:
- Design a feature set of the EHR product with a focus on healthcare workflows and patient care.
- Plan high-level EHR software architecture and the tech stack for the project.
- Create a business case (featuring investments, ROI, etc.).
- Design user adoption strategy.
Full-cycle EHR software development
We take over:
- Selection of EHR type (web-based or client server-based; general or specialized).
- Software architecture design.
- UX/UI design.
- MVP development (with core EHR features) and iterative delivery of secondary functionality.
- Quality assurance.
- Assistance with all relevant certifications.
EHR support
We support EHR, providing:

- Security and HIPAA compliance testing of the EHR and EMR software.
- Infrastructure support, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
- EHR/EMR software evolution.
Pricing Options
Fixed price (FP)
We agree on the fixed quote and EHR project scope and details. The payments are bound to the project’s milestones.
Time and Materials (T&M)
We issue a monthly report on the completed EHR development tasks and charge you in accordance to the progress made. T&M model is optimal if the project scope and requirements are likely to change.
Time and Materials with a cap (T&M NTE)
As in T&M, we charge you an hourly rate of outsourced specialists for the time spent on EHR software development every month but there is a fixed maximum total charge.
EHR or EMR Delivery Timelines
To ensure fast EHR software delivery, we:
- Release EHR MVP (minimum viable product) with high-priority features in 2-4 months depending on the project complexity.
- Perform subsequent releases of secondary EHR features every 2-3 weeks.
- Deploy minor product changes and fixes several times a day.
