About Bridge Payments Terminology for Posting Payments

We often refer to your practice management system as a PMS, EMR, or EHR system.

  • Practice management system (PMS)  
    • Handles the payments and billing aspects of a practice
  • Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR)
    • Handles the clinical aspects of a practice
    • Note: EMR and EHR are the same thing. EHR is a new name for EMR.

Most practices utilize a solution that is both a PMS and EHR/EMR all in one.
