An Electronic Data Collection Tool for Off-site Medical Care: EMR Lite

Healthcare providers face special challenges documenting care efficiently in settings such as nursing homes, private residences, and assisted living facilities. These challenges are amplified when the practitioner is affiliated with a large healthcare system, where centralized electronic medical record systems and/or the paper record are employed to collect and manage clinical data. Electronic tools to collect patient information outside the facility are largely absent in these centralized systems. Niche practitioners working in off-site care locations can meet their information management needs with economically viable database solutions.
