White Paper :: EMR4CARDIOLOGY

In the world today life is fast pace and can be hard to keep up with at times. This is why you run into many problems in a doctors office dealing with patient charts, organization, and legible handwriting. Problems such as a misplaced or lost sheet of paper that contained important patient information may occur at times or even in the event of an emergency, the time it takes to pull a patient's file/record may be time consuming, posing another problem. When a patient is sent to a new doctor by their previous doctor all of their medical history and information from their file must be provided for the new doctor. Problems that occur with this are usually that the handwritten information is not legible because doctors are constantly busy and do not have the time to clearly write notes down. Now this is affecting the patient and the new doctor because they are busy too and do not have the time to find out what something says and may have to do certain tests or check up procedures over. More time is being wasted, more money spent, and less organization in a busy, disorganized world that a doctor, his office, and patients have to account for in their daily lives. 

If the problem is paper and its inefficient method of containing information that can be easily lost or just become a mess, then the solution must be some sort of paper-less technology. Fortunately, this solution exists and is on the market for doctors, secretaries, and healthcare providers of all sorts. The solution is called Electronic Medical Record (EMR).  EMR is computer software that is web based and archives all of your patient's information. A common myth may be that if you are not computer savvy using the EMR will be difficult and in turn less efficient and more time consuming than using paper. This is not true and is easily dismissed once someone starts to use EMR because they find how user friendly this software is. EMR allows doctors to simply click on check boxes according to symptoms or observations and can type in notes they find with their patients which helps solve the problem to the legendary chicken scratch handwriting that doctors around the world are notorious for. Furthermore, any insurance information or other personal patient information that may have once been lost in the jungle of the filing room is now safely and neatly stored in the software.  All of this information is easily entered in with more check boxes and areas for typed notes.  You can even throw away your big paper calendar with the coffee stains and limited space to write in appointments because EMR software also provides a calendar with numerous time slots for each day allowing you to add any patient and extra notes to a time slot with just a few clicks of a button.

Once you decide to make the move towards shifting all of your medical records to the electronic world there is only one more choice to make. There are many different EMR software options on the market that have been created by different companies and picking the one that offers you the best in service and support will make a crucial difference in your workplace.
