Client server based EMR system is where the program is hosted on the site of the service provider while in a web-based EMR system, the program is hosted by some third party over the internet.

Undoubtedly, client based EMR gives more control to you, it is faster and you will not need to depend over the internet to access your data. However, it is an expensive option and that is why, most clients choose web based EMR.

Web based EMR is an affordable solution not only in terms of initial set but also regular maintenance. The IT professionals of the hosting vendor will be responsible to maintain it and thus, you will not need to spend any money in that line. With the help of online backup service, you will have access to your data from almost every part of the world, as far as you have an internet connection.

You have to consider all these things while making your decision in favor of web based or client server based EMR.
