Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP)

Assisting Maryland physicians adopt Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and achieve meaningful use.

The transition to EHRs can be complicated; providers must choose an appropriate product based on price, support and functionality.  After implementation, however, meaningful use of EHRs will lead to improved workflows and better outcomes - not to mention higher reimbursement rates.
