With the appropriate EMR consulting, the doctor won't be caught off guard and dumbfounded when using the EMR software for the first time. Since the sophisticated system is connected to the internet, the doctor can freely contact his patients regarding their diagnosis, get exam result charts directly from laboratories, and even get the latest updates from the medical world such as recalling of medicines and latest medical reports. His patients will also be able to view their charts online and even educate themselves about their current situation.

The EMR must be capable of integrating with systems including financial, administrative, and clinical departments, as seen with many practice management systems. This allows more streamlined workflow reducing time spent entering data across multiple systems. It also ensures quality data across the systems. An example would include integration between a hospital, billing, laboratory, imaging, pharmacy, and practice management systems. A standard has been put in place call the HL7 (Health Level 7) which is a common language for sending and receiving messages from different information systems. The most common use is between a practice management and EMR system or between physician offices and a hospital.
