the most common questions asked
by software customers organized
by topic: |
Messages and Tasking |
|
Yes, if you can email –
you can easily send messages,
notes and reminders to other
members of your staff. No
more “sticky notes” or “While
you were out” messages.
|
The providers can communicate
referrals, lab tests and
clinical orders through
this system. Procedures
and referrals can also have
time frames within which
to be completed.
|
All notes and messages can
be forwarded to the patients
charts into the appropriate
area.
|
Messages and tasks can have
time frames assigned to
each. Procedures that need
to be completed now or in
the future can be identified
and followed. The message
originator can assign the
task or message and kept
track with a reminder system.
|
You can track patient phone
calls, appointment reminders,
referrals, clinical orders,
inbound documents, refill
requests, etc. Anything
that you previously kept
reminder notes or logs can
now be handled in a system
as easy as email.
|
We can set up forms and
normal ranges for any procedure
done in the office. Any
form or template that currently
exists can be input into
our EHR system. Once the
task is completed, there
is an area for the result.
The message is then returned
to the sender with the results
in place.
|
Appointment Calendar |
|
A scheduling system is included.
|
No, you do not have to change
your scheduling system.
We can interface with your
current system. Mrecord
understands the importance
of a scheduling system to
track visits, charges etc.
|
You can view daily, weekly
or monthly appointments
by provider or group.
|
Any service that you provide
that requires an appointment
can be incorporated into
our scheduling system.
|
Yes, our appointment times
can vary by provider or
procedure. The schedules
can be set up within any
time increments providers
or procedures require.
|
Scanned documents |
|
Our system incorporates
a scanned document section.
When faxed or scanned documents
come into the system and
are identified by patient
and procedure, the document
can then be directed into
the appropriate patient
chart and in the appropriate
area. No more paper!
|
|
Mrecord can provide an interface
between the laboratory and
your office. Reports will
be sent directly into our
EHR system.
|
|
No x-rays can also be scanned
into the system. When opening
a patients record, you will
actually see the x-ray.
|
Medications/Refills |
|
When the provider adds a
medication to the patient,
a copy of this information
can be sent directly to
the pharmacy. This avoids
lost prescriptions, staff
time and patients waiting
for the prescription to
be filed. When the pharmacy
or patient requests a refill,
this information can be
entered into the patient
record and directed through
the prescription module
to the pharmacy. This simplifies
the process by reducing
staff time in duplicating
efforts and locating patient
records, further ensuring
that every refill is documented
appropriately.
|
|
Medications can be tracked
through the prescription
module. If the provider
has stopped or changed a
medication, the patient
is intolerant or allergic
to the medication or if
the patient simply wants
a less expensive medication,
all this information is
kept in the patient record.
The system has the ability
to maintain a notation as
to why the medication was
stopped or changed.
|
|
Our system has all current
medications entered with
standard dispensing information
and contraindications.
|
|
Patient allergies are noted
in the patient record including
medication allergies. If
a medication is prescribed
that may have an adverse
reaction with another medication,
an alert is given to the
provider. The provider can
then decide to continue
with this medication or
change the medication.
|
Reports |
|
All pertinent information
can be entered into the
patient demographics along
with scanned images of insurance
cards, drivers licenses,
etc.
|
|
Our reporting system can
be designed to track any
pertinent patient data required.
|
Patient Notes |
|
Providers have multiple
options in documenting encounters.
Information can entered
by typing, template or dictation.
If dictation is used, once
the report is reviewed and
locked, it will be linked
to the patient file by synching
patient data. (chart number,
date of birth, etc)
|
Patient Records |
|
There are tabs in each patient
record for encounter, flow
sheets, orders and communications,
office notes, communications
and graphs.
|
|
All pertinent information
can be entered into the
patient demographics along
with scanned images of insurance
cards, drivers licenses,
etc.
|
|
If you have standard forms
for new medications, suture
removals, discharge summaries,
etc. Mrecord can enter these
forms into your system.
The provider will complete
the appropriate form and
the form can be printed
and given to the patient.
The system will maintain
copies of the information
given to the patient.
|
|
Every page of the patient
record will show a picture
of the patient (if scanned)
with the name, date of birth
age and chart number for
easy identification or verification.
|
|
Patient allergies are located
at the top of each page
of the patient record. This
will include food and medication
allergies or anything that
has been entered free-text.
|
|
Along with allergies, the
top of each patient record
page includes insurance
information (for quick direction
to appropriate referrals
or pharmacies), visit summaries
which includes date of service,
diagnosis and provider and
any diagnosis associated
with previous patient visits.
|
General Information |
|
Many customizations can
be provided at little or
no charge. Customized forms
utilized by your practice
can be easily entered into
our system. Don’t hesitate
to ask questions if there
are specifics that would
enhance your workflow or
documentation.
