1. Electronic Health Record (EHR) Software

EHR software is one of the most popular (if not the single most popular) type of software used by hospitals and clinics. In many ways, it’s similar to a CRM, only adjusted to the medical industry.
EHR software collects information on patients – for example, the medication they take, doctors’ recommendations, and the procedures that they have undergone in the past.
Many programs also include a financial module for invoicing and payment, and a separate portal for the patient, which allows patients to access their consultation history, medical records, and prescriptions.
The two most popular types of EHR software are:

• 
  Electronic patient record software (EPR) – used internally by hospitals to store and process their patient information.
  
• 
  Electronic medical record software (EMR) – used to store data like medication types and dosage, past and planned procedures, and data on the patient’s recovery course.
