With the release of ABELMed CMS/EMR, physicians can use computers to manage patient records throughout the office. ABELMed CMS/EMR includes all of the familiar administrative features that you are comfortable with making it easy for you to begin using electronic medical records (EMR) at your own pace.

 

ABELMed CMS/EMR includes Electronic Medical Records functionality that can provide you with these advantages:

 

Increased Efficiency - Paper charts are costly administrative artifacts that must be found, pulled and distributed. They may not always be easy to find or readily available. With EMR, searching for charts is a thing of the past; information is immediately available from a computer. Add or edit records on the fly to reduce transcription costs and turnaround time. Use templates to record common findings and notes and reduce repetitive work; accomplish more in less time - without compromising patient care.

 

Improved Accuracy - Progress notes, test and lab results, referral requests and prescriptions are entered quickly and accurately into EMR software. Electronic Medical Records are more legible and less prone to erroneous interpretation.

 

Greater Productivity - An EMR can facilitate the completion of progress notes while you are with the patient. Spend more of your time treating patients, instead of catching up on paperwork. Improve personal satisfaction knowing you can leave the office for lunch and immediately after seeing your last patient.

 

Improved Patient Care - A properly designed EMR can provide instant decision support at point of care and can track patient follow-up activity, patient compliance, patient progress and provide patient education materials.

 

Professional Protection - Quality documentation is a compelling indicator of professional care. Information recorded with a suitably designed EMR can be more accurate and comprehensive. An EMR can improve future care and reduce the likelihood of costly malpractice action.

 

Better Resource Allocation - Valuable space used to store paper records can be reallocated for exam rooms or offices. Time previously spent on chart pulls can be used for patient care. Transcription time can be reduced or eliminated.

 

Security - Access to EMR can be controlled and restricted more easily than to paper records. Staff access can be limited to the information they require. Records are protected against tampering, loss, abuse or simple wear and tear. In addition, a suitably designed EMR with electronic audit trails can track all modifications to records.

 

Portability - An EMR increases the ability of physicians to access up-to-date records wherever they are. You can access records from wireless devices or remote computers with appropriate access permission.

 

Reduced Reliance on Paper - An EMR can eliminate the need for most paper generated in the Healthcare environment. Information generated in the practice rarely requires printing and information received can be stored electronically in the EMR. Reducing paper further optimizes administrative efficiency. An EMR can dramatically reduce your administrative overhead.
