An EMR may be the biggest technology investment you make-which is why you want to look for one that's built on proven technology.
gloStream's EMR, gloEMR, is one such solution. It's the only EMR that has Microsoft Office built right in and the result is significant to health care professionals. Here's how: gloEMR has features you can use to collaborate with other team members, whether they're in your office or working remotely.
You probably already know how to use these features, since you most likely use Microsoft Word. This decreases training time and increases time you can spend on other tasks-like seeking patients.

Because we store your data in Microsoft-based formats such as Microsoft Word, you gain peace of mind. Microsoft technology has been tested for decades and is supported by thousands of technology partners-it will likely be around forever.
Microsoft technology is only getting better. Microsoft spends $5 billion annually to improve its Office suite-which improves your EMR.
Three Reasons to Choose Microsoft-Based EMR Software: Security, Accessibility and Portability
More and more doctors are interested in an electronic medical records (EMRs) system, thanks to the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) incentives-but at the same time, they're worried that by implementing an EMR they'll lose control over their data.
How can you be sure your data will be stored in a universal platform, will be easily accessible, and will be portable to other systems, if needed?
In our opinion, Microsoft Office is the best EMR platform because it's the most widely used business platform in the world. Think about it: office was launched more than two decades ago, in 1989. And it's ubiquitous: According to Forrester Research, 80 percent of companies use it. That's far too many users for the software to be discontinued.
As a result, Office is also one of the most widely supported business platforms in the world. Microsoft spends billions of dollars in research and development each year to improve the software.
What does that mean for you, an EMR user? Your data will be stored in the world's reputable business platform-not a proprietary system developed by a single company that may or may not be in business in five years. And it will be portable to other applications.
Security, accessibility and portability-that's why we think you should consider an EMR built on the Microsoft Office platform when it comes time to implement one.
