Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Software Is Good News for Patients and for Hospitals

The big news in medical records is Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software. They make it possible for hospitals to efficiently store and organize medical information about patients so that data are not lost and reports are not duplicated.

That not only lowers costs by eliminating paper and lowering storage costs. It also makes medical records more accurate and facilitates treatment.

Electronic medical records include ADT and resident information, the electronic chart (eChart), point-of-care (POC) documentation, automated MDS, integrated Electronic Health Records from various doctors and hospitals, billing and financial records, physicians’ orders, medication administration records and treatment administration records, pharmacy and lab records, and records of each patient’s complete therapy, integrated with resident clinical records.

OptimusEMR, a leader in EMR software, develops hospital software that allows hospitals to easily share patient data, so no information is lost.  OptimusEMR software also provides a management dashboard, fully integrated billing and financial modules, complete support for integrated CCRC campuses, and much more, including Long Term care and Nursing Home Software.

Comprehensive, patient medical records can now be accessible from anywhere. That is an added safety factor, especially for patients with chronic illnesses who are being treated by multiple physicians, in different hospitals, and taking multiple medications.

Comprehensive electronic medical records are a big step forward for patient care and safety and for efficient medical treatment. Mental healthcare records can and should be integrated with physical healthcare records—and vice versa.
