December 3rd, 2013 – Back in the heyday of the exploding real estate market a decade ago, low- and no-down-payment mortgages were pretty much an accepted and welcome fact of life. It helped fuel an appreciation and selling boom that came to a sudden halt five years ago as the Great Recession took away much of what had been considered business as usual in real estate.

Today, following the mortgage bubble and many other financial and economic upheavals, providing a viable financing model that protects lenders from bulk foreclosures while allowing large numbers of borrowers to be able to qualify and afford a home mortgage is the difficult task faced by government regulators and an industry that is still looking to get its footing back.

An electronic medical record, or what we call an EMR, stores your health history and medical information in an electronic, instead of paper format. Using a highly secure network, physicians, nurses and other clinical staff can enter needed patient information, including your doctors’ orders, prescriptions and other important items, directly into a computer. This allows clinicians to better coordinate care – even from multiple locations – through immediate access to secure data.
