I have been using EMR since 2003 but when I was really looking to go paperless I chose the software program called IMS, because of the different feature they included to get a physician closer to that goal. Because I was familiar with EMR I knew exactly what I wanted and they worked with me to customize the software with templates specific to pediatrics. One of my preferred features is the interface with the state immunization registry followed by the document management as a close second. I also like the different reports we can easily pull. The support staff is pretty attentive to our concerns and they continue to improve on all the different aspects of the software. If you really want to go paperless and be compliant with the different guidelines IMS is the one for you.
