What is EHR/EMR software?
Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software are digital platforms designed to replace paper charts by centralizing patient data, clinical notes, and medical histories. Our specialty-specific EHRs go beyond digital record-keeping by using AI and adaptive learning to streamline clinical workflows, automate documentation, and improve the overall efficiency of your practice.
What is the difference between EHR and EMR software?
EMA and gGastro are Electronic Health Records (EHR), which are broader digital records designed to follow the patient across care settings. An EHR includes the chart plus interoperability, longitudinal patient history, portals, e-prescribing, referrals, labs, HIE connections, analytics, and broader care coordination. EMR is an Electronic Medical Record, which is a digital version of a patient’s chart that includes notes, diagnoses, meds, orders, labs, and visit history.

FAQs
What are the three types of EHRs?
In the healthcare industry, EHR systems are generally categorized by how they are hosted and delivered:
- Cloud-based (SaaS) EHR: These systems, like ModMed EHR EMA, are hosted on the vendor’s servers and accessed via the internet. They are known for lower upfront costs, automatic updates, and accessibility from any device.
- On-premise server-based EHR: This software is installed locally on a practice’s own physical servers. It requires a significant upfront investment in hardware and IT staff but offers the practice direct control over data storage.
- Specialty-specific EHR: Unlike one-size-fits-all systems, specialty-specific EHRs are built with preconfigured workflows and medical content tailored to specific fields like dermatology, ophthalmology, or orthopedics. ModMed specializes in this category with software designed by practicing physicians from your specialty who understand your challenges and the nuances of your workflows.
What are the 5 common functions of EHR systems?
Modern EHR systems are designed to go beyond digital record-keeping. The five most critical functions include:
- Clinical documentation: Streamlining the recording of patient encounters using content specific to your specialty, customizable templates, automated features, adaptive learning, and coding suggestions based on clinical documentation.
- Order entry and management: Facilitating ePrescribing (eRx) and the electronic ordering of lab tests or imaging.
- Clinical decision support (CDS): Providing real-time alerts for drug interactions and preventive care reminders.
- Patient engagement: Offering a secure Patient Portal for messaging, appointment scheduling, and health record access.
- Interoperability and reporting: Allowing for the seamless exchange of data between different healthcare providers and the capture of clinical quality measures to help with practice performance reporting and regulatory compliance, like MIPS.
Does ModMed offer EHR training?
Yes, ModMed provides a comprehensive, multistage training ecosystem designed to support practices from implementation through long-term optimization. Our training includes:
- ModMed U: A self-paced, online educational platform with step-by-step videos and tutorials.
- Instructor-led training: Remote, consultative sessions with expert educators to review specific workflows.
- Onboarding coaching: Tailored implementation plans that account for practice size and complexity.
- ModMed Communities: A robust knowledge base with quick reference guides and manuals accessible 24/7.

- ModMed Certification Program: MOMENTUM attendees have the opportunity to enroll in one of our certification learning paths in areas such as front office and financials.
Is ModMed difficult to learn?
ModMed EMA is designed to be intuitive, using an iPad and web-based interface and an adaptive learning engine that acts based on a provider’s past behavior and preferences. While any new technology has an initial adjustment period, many users find it easier to learn than traditional EHRs due to its specialty-specific design and simple configuration.
We recommend a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-bound) implementation plan, starting with a reduced patient load for the first few weeks to allow staff to gain confidence with the system’s automated features.
ModMed Scribe, our AI-powered documentation solution, helps simplify documentation so new hires can ramp quickly without needing deep EHR or note-taking expertise — reducing training time and keeping the practice efficient.
