CSI’s EMR solution features accessible data for Pay for Performance initiatives, health maintenance requirements and clinical reporting. There is no charge for training, no licensing fees and average implementation period can be as low as 3 months or the client can phase the EMR in over time. The CSI EMR solution can be linked to labs and hospitals and is also easily integrated with existing medical billing and practice management systems.
