Likely the most critical aspect of your practice’s productivity. Yet, so many practices don’t properly research where their EHR is hosted. [We’ve developed a checklist of best practices to help you find the best cloud provider for your EHR](https://blog.netgainhosting.com/choosing-an-ehr-hosting-provider-checklist). Forty-four percent of EHR products are web-based or hosted, according to a [recent survey by Capterra](http://www.capterra.com/electronic-medical-records-software/user-research), a service designed to help businesses find the right software. The survey also reports that 51 percent of the EHR products in their directory are cloud-based.

It has been easy to be in the mindset of taking a break from the craziness of the Meaningful Use Program but the time is drawing near for the final rule to be published and the reporting period to start if you haven’t already. The proposed rule will allow providers to report for any 90 day period but you shouldn’t wait until the last quarter to get everything in order.

Wholesale adoption of the Electronic Health Record ([EHR](http://www.netgainhosting.com/Solutions/DesktopHosting/Healthcare-Organizations/ElectronicMedicalRecords)), the digitalization of diagnostic imaging (PACS), and the emergence of intra-clinical sharing via Health Information Exchange (HIE); these forces combine to amplify the importance of the Information Technology (IT) staff, vendors, and other technical players that support the practice of medicine.
