New York, NY (prHWY.com) September 26, 2012 - gMed, the leading specialty EHR company, offers a certified electronic health record (EHR ) solution that can help take advantage of HITECH incentives. Their specialty specific applications, gGastro, gCardio and gUro, are very easy to use and have proven to be reliable solutions that streamline medical practices. Under the HITECH Act, providers that implement and have a meaningful use of a certified EHR prior to 2015 are eligible to receive incentives, up to $44,000 per physician. gMed provides solutions that assist physicians with the way they do their jobs and takes focus off practice paperwork. They allow doctors to focus on the practice of medicine.

The HITECH Act is the Health Information Technology (HIT) section, under the recently approved American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Under HITECH, the government has allocated $19.2 billion in incentives to adopt EHR technology. gMed's Electronic Health Record (EHR) system integrates medical information, cuts costs, increases revenues, improves quality and reduces risks for selected medical specialties including Gastroenterology, Cardiology and Urology.

Their EMR systems are affordable yet efficient are meticulously designed pieces of software that help medical practitioners maintain electronic health records. These systems are much less time consuming in comparison to manual paper documentation work. Electronic health records are also called electronic patient records or computerized patient records. All of these phrases mean the same thing. They are the collection of patients' medical history over a period of time within an institution and across physician practices.

An Electronic medical record (EMR) is a computerized medical record created in an organization that delivers care, such as a hospital or physician's office. Electronic medical records tend to be a part of a local stand-alone health information system that allows storage, retrieval and modification of records. EMR helps in achieving streamlined work processes for the doctor's organization.

The specialty based EMR systems provide forms similar to their paper counterparts but adds easy navigation, a standard point-and-click solution, intuitiveness and a standardized interface which allows everyone in the practice to be more efficient, and ultimately, provide better patient care. gMed provides a solution that thinks like a physician and takes the focus off practice paperwork and puts it back on the practice of medicine.
