also can be a very nebulous phrase. What does "going paperless"
actually mean? How will it produce tangible benefits to my office? It
is an important to decide just how quickly you take your office
paperless. It is also important to remember that you can phase in the
paperless process while using FortéEMR. In fact, it often makes
more sense to make it a gradual process. The true essence of going
paperless should be for cost reduction and better efficiency. Below are
