EMR… Bandwidth and Redundancy is Needed!

Often in EMR/PM discussions, internet speed is usually overlooked and not addressed until after the fact. Going electronic will always increase the need for internet bandwidth.

Not only is speed critical, redundancy is also important for EMR/PM users. Having a redundant internet connection guarantees maximum up time and allows your staff to have access to all patient information at any given time. NO DOWNTIME FOR YOUR PRACTICE! 

Do the the below questions sound familiar? 

• Have you noticed a lag in speed when accessing patient information or when simply accessing an internet page?
• Does it take minutes to download/upload patient information?
• Do you consistently have internet outages?
• Is there full scale panic when the internet connection is lost?

With the proper bandwidth and redundancy solution in place, none of the above questions come into play! What would that mean for your practice? More profit… Increased patient through rate… You can see the benefits!

Pulse has aligned and partnered with the leading telecommunication providers throughout the Southeast to provide the best and most cost-effective solutions for our customers. No matter your needs or budget… we have a solution for you!

To learn how Pulse can improve your bandwidth/redundancy…
