An EHR Meaningful Use Program Will Lower The Risk For Mistakes Being Made In The Doctor's Office

By Eirnando Z. Bare


It is very convenient to have medical health record access from anywhere in the world at your fingertips through an EHR meaningful use program. Doctors are finding that with these new programs they can still access patient files from anywhere they are. Everyone needs a break including a doctor, so if they are away at the moment they can still get to the records if a stand in doctor needs to get to them.

Having a medical practice is serious business; the same regulations apply no matter what in the eyes of the law even when you have an EHR meaningful use programs in use. When you have this program in your practice, you will see that it is so much easier than paper files and it is very convenient to always be fully aware of what is going on with each of your patients. Privacy still remains paramount for your patients and your business stays within HIPAA guidelines.

In so many offices today, when the nurse comes in for the initial consultation she will use a computer to gather up all of the patient's information. This is so they can enter all of the information while the patient is right there so nothing is missed or looked over. If any questions need to be answered, the patient is right there to answer them. There is no more going back and forth into paper charts to get the necessary information.

Too much time has been wasted in the past on tedious paperwork. Now they don't need to worry about enough time because records are being kept by computer. With the new software that most doctors' offices are currently using, there is much more time to spend with each patient and they are getting the care they deserve and as an added bonus, revenue cycle management programs making it easier to keep track of payments. Insurance companies only pay for so much time that is spent inside the doctor's office as it is; no more time should be wasted.

You will now have the power to access all parts of your patients' records from outside sources. X rays will be available on your new system along with lab work, hospital records, current drugs that are being taken and any other data that may be needed. Sometimes a patient cannot communicate and it is hard for hospitals or EMTs to know what health problems or allergies someone has. This could even save someone's life by installing the right kind of software within your office. Switch over your systems today and you will gain more time and better accuracy for the sake of your business.
