Is Your On-Premise EHR Server Holding You Back?
Is Your On-Premise EHR Server Holding You Back?
The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on some of the drawbacks of conventional hosting environments. For example, on-premise servers can make it difficult to scale your business, make software updates or allow your staff to work from home. Considering a change? Check out our comparison below.
Cloud vs On-Premise Hosting
| Cloud | On-Premise |
| Less hardware to buy, set up and manage. | You’re responsible for your hardware, updates, backups and more. |
| Easier to scale your capacity up or down. | Want more capacity? You’ll need to buy extra servers. |
| Automatic software updates to improve functionality, address concerns and more. | Updates take time, may cost extra and software could become outdated prior to installation. |
| Redundancy, automatic backups and resilient storage help protect data and decrease service interruptions. | More vulnerable to natural disasters and on-site theft. Backups are likely your responsibility. |
| Your data syncs across devices and locations. | Limited mobility, as your data is stored on-site. |
| All-in-one solution for software licensing, operations and support. | You may need to hire extra IT support. |
Here's What Your Peers Are Saying
Sachin Shridharani, MD, FACS LUXURGERY NYC
“EMA was one of the first major logistical additions to my practice. The nature of the plastic surgery-specific, cloud-based platform and ease of use made this program standout in a crowded space. We have had several individuals with varying computer skills trained and now skillful, which speaks to the quality of this EMR.”
Sonya Merriman, MD Plastic Surgery Associates of Valdosta
“I love that I’m able to finish a note at home if needed or ePrescribe over the weekend. When patients call me, I can access their information from anywhere. Also, the portability of the iPad allows me to better interact with and satisfy my patients.”
