What are the advantages to a facility of selecting software that is able to communicate among different applications?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers may vary slightly, since there are so many different applications within a system (for instance, the practice management applications as opposed to the electronic health record applications). Should an office staff review three or four PM/EHR software packages, and the general consensus is that the EHR applications meet their needs but the PM applications do not, then the practice may choose one vendor for the PM applications and one for the EHR. The advantages include getting a system that meets the needs of the practice; the disadvantage is making sure that the systems are able to interface.
