That means we’re often researching about and/or playing around with their products, you know, it’s part of our job. Here, I share our findings of that research, letting you know about the best products we’ve seen. I hope it helps you make the right decision…

We don’t need to tell you that there is a whole host of healthcare software, ranging from electronic health records, patient portals, telemedicine software for online consultations, E-Prescribing software, medical diagnosis software, remote patient monitoring software, hospital management software and hospital billing software.
