Electronic Medical Records

gloStream and Microsoft

Making a decision about which EMR software to choose can feel like a bet. Are you picking the right technology provider? Will they be around for the long haul? What happens to my data if I want or need to change? gloEMR and gloPM are specifically designed with Microsoft Office built right in, so doctors and practices can feel confident that they’ve chosen an EMR that’s based on proven technology, that will be easy to use and that will be there when they need it.

What is the world’s most prevalent technology for document management?

It’s Microsoft and that’s why partnering with Microsoft has always been a key ingredient in gloStream’s product strategy. Having Microsoft Office built in to our products offers doctors a powerful, flexible and easy-to-use EMR solution for digitizing their patient records. gloStream users have access to feature-rich technology they can easily customize to meet their needs.

Additionally, since most people already know how to use Microsoft Office, gloStream users are already familiar with our technology. Training time is condensed, and our analysis and implementation processes ensure that doctors using gloEMR are up to their full patient load in a matter of days or weeks, not months.

Microsoft Technology is a Safe Choice

Doctors today are anxious about their EMR software purchase. For many it’s their first technology investment and they want to be sure that the health records they’re digitizing will be protected and available forever, regardless of what happens to their technology vendor. Unlike competitors that store patient data in proprietary databases and unique formats, gloStream stores data in industry standard formats such as Microsoft Word. These are systems that are supported by thousands of technology Partners and will likely be around forever. In fact, to support Office technology Microsoft spends $5 billion annually to further improve the Office suite.

Simply stated, an investment in a Microsoft-based EMR system is a safe bet because the underlying technology is well supported and developed by a stable and successful company. An investment in a proprietary system supported only by an EMR software company would be a much different proposition.
