Offices who turn to EMR software should be advised: be doubly certain any system you purchase is HIPAA-compliant, since any legal action is likely to be directed at you. Things to look for in ensuring HIPAA compliance from your EMR software include:

Digital signatures and encryption on all patient information.

An intra-office database (rather than one stored on another server).

Safe, secure backup capability.

Since the inception of HIPAA and the takeoff of the EMR trend, there are now many agencies in the business of independent HIPAA audits. In your search for EMR software, look for software that has already been certified as HIPAA-compliant, preferably by multiple independent organizations.
