ChiroTouch is a premier all-in-one electronic health record (EHR) chiropractic practice management solution. It is widely used by DCs Doctor of Chiropractic to access, store, and manage their patient profiles and documents securely and efficiently. The software combines health records, billing, patient scheduling, outcomes assessments, and inventory management in a comprehensive suite. It offers chiropractors custom templates, along with features such as image management, the ability to add dynamic subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) notes, and real-time patient flow with room management capabilities, among others. In this article, we will explore the details of ChiroTouch Cloud Server Hosting.
Why Host ChiroTouch Server In the Cloud?
Many DCs use a dedicated standalone computer as the server for hosting ChiroTouch. However, these machines require frequent maintenance and upgrades, apart from avoidable overheads. These limitations can be overcome by hosting the software in the cloud. Here are some benefits for practitioners to migrate their ChiroTouch database to the cloud.
- Patient records and other sensitive data are safer and more accessible.
- Data can be backed up automatically and larger volumes of data can be archived due to the availability of scalable processing power and storage.
- It can be used as a managed solution that does not require software to be manually updated or hardware to be frequently upgraded.
- The software and the data can be protected using enterprise-grade firewalls and other security systems that are difficult to implement privately.
- The capital outlay is much lower than maintaining an on-premises ChiroTouch server.
