You’ve found the best EMR for your specialty and streamlined your documentation workflow. However, managing a successful medical practice in 2024 will require lots of work beyond the EMR. You must maintain an online presence, manage scheduling, and securely communicate with patients. Knowing the right medical practice software tools – for scheduling, dictation, clinical decision support, and more – will make your life much easier.
