New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2010 -- Precision Information Management Services (PIMS) announced the launch of SaaS EMR services for Ophthalmology practices and physicians looking to migrate to Allscripts EHR Pro. The EMR SaaS service has been launched with an aim to enable physicians to obtain all benefits of the Electronic Medical Record System (EMR) without significant spending on purchase, installation, maintenance and up-gradation of the EMR software in-house.

The SaaS EMR model is ideally suited for ophthalmologists and ophthalmology practices with limited budget and resources. An EMR SaaS system does not require high upfront costs of server purchase, IT support. Also, the Electronic Medical Record System EMR software automatically updates as and when new releases are made.
