As the urgent care industry expands to meet increasing patient demand, clinics face mounting challenges in managing resources, ensuring efficient workflows, and delivering exceptional patient care. Adopting the right electronic health record software (EHR) is pivotal for handling these complexities. This blog explores why scalability is critical, the limitations of traditional systems, and how modern, flexible EHR solutions like Oystehr can support growing clinics.
