Misys Healthcare Systems has upped the installed base of its EMR (electronic medical records) technology after announcing this week that 14 medical practices across the United States have recently added or signed on to implement the system.

Misys EMR automates record-keeping processes and enables physicians to retrieve and input patient data from a PC, handheld or wireless device.
