Our internet-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) application, enCompass 4.0, is designed to improve quality of care, reduce risk by providing decision support, and promote a collaborative clinical environment that facilitates coordinated care with other providers. enCompass creates the opportunity to maintain medical records with minimal effort while streamlining workflow, controllingutilization, and managing critical data as it relates to patient care. While vendor choices for Electronic Medical Records are numerous, Arête Healthcare Services distinguishes itself by taking the implementation process one step further. We bring a proven incremental methodology to our clients which allows the Electronic Medical Record system to become fully integrated into the clinical workflow and infused into the culture of the practice without decreasing productivity and reimbursement. Our organization will show you the differencebetween "buying" an EHR versus "implementing" an EHR.

Electronic health records are in fact defined differently than electronic medical records. According to HIMSS's Analytics of 2006, the differences can be defined in the chart below:

*Tables retrieved from http://www.himssanalytics.org/.

Although much has changed, including technology, since 2006, these definitions still stand true to the differences between EMR and EHR.
