EMR stands for “electronic medical records.” EMR software allows for patient medical records, lab results, billing, and treatment plans to be stored in a digital database. Individuals with controlled access can review and update patient information, and this information can be accessed and updated by several medical providers and facilities.

There are many types of medical devices that are compliant with EMR software. These include vital signs monitors, ECG machines, colposcopes, and stress systems.

What Does It Do?


Electronic medical records software allows for the creation of a single patient file for all practitioners and facilities instead of several files at each facility. Centralizing patient files in this way allows for far faster file creation and updating than the multiple paper files of old.

In transferring paper files to digital format with EMR software, patients can receive diagnoses and medications more quickly. Facilities can also reduce billing errors while saving on drug expenditures due to duplicate prescriptions.

In being able to spend less time creating, searching for, and updating multiple files, facilities can increase the quality of their patient care and the efficiency of their employees.


Who Needs EMR Software?

Electronic medical records software can be used by virtually every type of medical facility. Clinics can use EMR to automate tasks like appointment reminders for patients to reduce interruptions in treatment. When a patient checks in, this notification can be sent to their doctor, who can analyze the details of the appointment to determine whether further treatment may be beneficial.

Electronic medical charting software can also allow for prescriptions to be created or refilled electronically following a doctor’s visit. Medical professionals can enter this information directly into the patient’s file, and then send the prescription to their preferred pharmacy for pick-up.

Labs can benefit from EMR software, which can allow an order to be sent directly to them. Once the results have been published, EMR software can take this information and place it in the patient’s file as soon as it’s available.

Anyone wanting a higher degree of security for their patient information can benefit from EMR software, which is HIPAA-secure. Electronic health record EMR software also complies with HIPAA coding and billing standards.
