The 2-minute Guide: EMR Backup Storage and Recovery

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) can be extremely beneficial to a practice since all medical records are stored on a hard drive or in the cloud, instead of in paper format which can easily be damaged or lost. However, computers are not impervious to damage either.
