Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are one of the most promising developments in medical cost control, patient care and patient privacy. Ironically, their inability to eliminate the need for supplemental paper charts -- until now -- has been one reason less than five percent of physicians use them. Like paper charts, EMRs contain a wide range of information on an individual patient, including current diagnosis and prescriptions, drug allergies, and medical history.
EMR systems present a patient's record whenever it's needed through access terminals in exam rooms and offices or wireless handheld devices. These systems eliminate lost charts, unreadable handwritten notes and the substantial cost of storing, maintaining and accessing them.
Benefits
- Improved Patient Care: Ensures that patient charts are available to physicians whenever they are needed.
- Ease of use: "Kofax Capture has been easy to learn and fast and easy to use," Vonada says. "It's a great product."
- Speed: Has met the requirement to capture stat lab reports within one hour of arrival at the clinic.
- Versatility: Clinics can scan and manage HR, billing, and other office operations with the document management component of the solution.
