'''Clinic Management Systems''' are computer software products that coordinate and integrate all the inherent activities involved in the management and running of a [[healthcare]] facility.  They must meet specified security, technology and functionality standards for managing electronic medical records and practice management information.  Some systems maintain the complete Patient Information coupled with the [[Electronic Medical Records]] (EMR), [[Medical billing]], [[Electronic Data Interchange|EDI]]/[[HCFA]] [[claim sending]] and  meeting the stipulated security, technology & functional standards.

Aside from general patient care, a clinic may also participate in running [[clinical trials]]. In order to manage the additional responsibilities in managing a clinical trial, a clinic may also use a [[CTMS]] or [[clinical data management system]] (CDMS) in addition to and combined with their EMR and billing systems. 

In [[Ontario]], these standards, developed with the assistance of Ontario physicians, are managed by [http://www.ontariomd.com/ OntarioMD].

An example is [[OSCAR McMaster]].
