What is an EHR (Electronic Health Record)?
What is an EHR / EHR System? EHRs (Electronic Health Records) help capture clinical encounters electronically, create secure, HIPPA-compliant, digitized patient records and a variety of other tasks within one centralized program, streamlining without disrupting existing provider and staff workflows. Below you’ll find an infographic describing a few main functions an EHR System can help you with.
- Creating & Customizing Templates
- In addition to commonly used templates installed during vendor implementation, templates can be created and customized specifically to specialty/practice needs.
- Notes / Encounters
- Increase patient engagement, volume, and satisfaction via simplified note-taking with structured notes, unstructured notes, or both.
- Voice Dictation
- Voice dictation allows providers to dictate notes in 90 seconds or less, insert sub-templates, and navigate charts without having to click and type.
- Smart Text
- Smart Text saves time, allowing for customizable, pre-built notes to be inserted directly into the patient’s chart.
- ePrescribing
- Providers can prescribe patient medications electronically, eliminating handwriting errors while increasing patient safety and convenience.
- Simplified Lab Processes
- Integration with lab facilities nationwide allows providers to send requests and access results with a button click.
- Telehealth
- Enabling information sharing and out of office patient telecommunication, Telehealth offers enhanced provider and patient schedule flexibility.
- Patient Portal
- A growing CMS requirement, Patient Portals allow patients online access to their health records, appointment scheduling, prescription refill requests, bill pay, and patient-practice messaging.
- Messaging
- Messaging simplifies both internal & external practice communication for providers, staff members, and patients.
- Create SuperBill / Charge Slip
- Upon patient note completion, the EHR compiles ICD-10 codes and sends information to the Practice Management billing system, reducing redundant data entry while prompting claim and billing generation.
