And, no matter how you implement your system, you have the flexibility to ease into automation one module, office, or physician at a time. There are no intricate processes or codes to memorize, and you perform many tasks with a click of the mouse. This frees office staff from repetitious data entry and tedious paperwork. Patients' data is available throughout the system and paperwork is reduced because reminders, instructions, telephone logs, and memos are stored in the appropriate places on the system. And, online medical records eliminate the filing, retrieving, and transferring associated with paper charts.
Users can access and update data anywhere in the network with ease.
Also, database administration and backup occurs online without interrupting users. Unlike paper records, electronic records are available throughout your network and can be shared simultaneously. With proper security, providers can access patient records from the hospital, office, or home. This is essential to physicians who are on call and need vital information in a hurry. User-specific IDs and passwords ensure that only authorized personnel have access to patient files.
