According to Wikipedia, "Medical practice management software (PMS) is a category of healthcare software that deals with the day-to-day operations of a medical practice. Such software frequently allows users to capture patient demographics, schedule appointments, maintain lists of insurance payors, perform billing tasks, and generate reports."  As stated before, PMR is one type of software that could be considered a type of practice management software since it allows physician practices to better manage their day to day operations.  In order for a EMR/EHR or a PMS to work, there must be data.  The data comes from the healthcare workers who input it, and there is a LOT of it.
