(openPR) - Small practice healthcare providers are changing to electronic medical records (EMR) solutions to reduce operating costs and improve patient care.
Rochester, NH -- Implementation of the HemiData EMR in a small practice improves the documentation cycle, reducing the costs associated with creating the documentation, and improves patient care by having records immediately available within the practice.
Small practice healthcare providers are making the change to electronic medical records (EMR) to improve patient care, eliminate errors, meet compliance requirements, and reduce operating costs. The needs of each small practice healthcare provider differ, so the HemiData EMR is flexible to meet a variety of needs.
"For example, a recent client was concerned that it was taking a week or more before patient charts became available because of the time required for transcription, editing, and corrections. The long turnaround time sometimes impaired the doctor's ability to review prior notes if a short term follow-up visit was required as part of the patient's treatment regimen," explained Sam Pendleton of www.HemiData.com
The flexibility of the HemiData EMR solutions enables the company to tailor an individualized program for the small practice physician which eliminates that long delay and enables patient records to be available immediately.
"Today the physician dictates the patient record, proofreads and makes minor corrections immediately, and then stores the result in the EMR. The seamless integration between the EMR and the voice recognition application allows the entire note taking activity to be completed in one step. Once the note is entered into the EMR, the note is instantly available to others in the office and is also available to the physician should a follow-up visit be required," explained Pendleton.
Ongoing costs for the EMR service and network services are significantly lower than the cost of transcription services, with a result that is more effective.
Additional small practice needs may include conversion of past records to EMR, protection of records to prevent loss in a disaster, access to records from any location, compliance, and a simplified records system to make it easy for staff to use the records.
"EMR solutions for practicing physicians and clinics streamlines the complete medical practice workflow without requiring specialized computer training. The use of EMR effectively automates all the vital processes within a practice. It integrates the complete medical records process," said Pendleton.
