NMMC first began using the electronic medical record in 1999, and now more than 2.000 users take advantage of this technology. More than 200 physicians—from family and internal medicine physicians to cardiologists, gastroenterologists, urologists, obstetrician/gynecologists, psychiatrists and more—recognize the value. More than 60 clinics throughout north Mississippi, northwest Alabama and portions of Tennessee rely on NMMC’s information specialists.
