In 2005, EIM began using an electronic medical record. This helps us better manage every aspect of patient care. It streamlines the creation of our chart notes, aids in more accurate prescription writing, and allows us to better manage every disease state we deal with on a daily basis.
After an exhaustive search of the available products and several site visits to view different systems, we contracted with AllScripts to purchase its Electronic Medical Record.
Since then, we also have begun using the AllScripts practice management system, which allows us to better access patient demographics, insurance information, and payment histories. This combination of systems has proven to be very valuable in our quest to provide better, more efficient care for our patients.
