Practice Management software is used for a number of reasons in medical offices for controlling documents, patient files, signatures, images, insurance information, accounting, and even prescriptions.
The Journal of Medical Practice Management was created in 1984.
Medical software programs can be divided in two major categories. Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and Practice Management Software. The former deals with the clinical side of a practice, this means that physicians use it to document patient encounters and streamline other clinical workflows. While, the later deals with administrative and financial workflow management of a practice. From scheduling to resource allocation to billing procedures, everything is done using practice management software.
