We
at Amas medical services feel that, patient safety is greatly
enhanced by the use of a comprehensive EMR-Electronic Medical Records and
Patient management system. We installed such a system in our practice few
months ago. It is built on a single database, ensuring a seamless flow of
information from scheduling to patient charting to billing. In this short time,
we have seen improvements in the care we provide to patients and our ability to
monitor groups of patients for disease management, disease trends or patients
on a particular medication. In addition, the EMR enables us to easily track
changes in a patient’s weight, blood pressure and lab results.
Aside from the aforementioned EMR capabilities, the system plays a crucial role
in enhancing patient safety through communication. The EMR acts as the core
communication center in regard to the patient’s status. In a practice
where multiple physicians and nurses may be involved with a patient’s
care, the EMR allows any authorized person access to the records. One
can’t easily put a price tag on patient safety or quality care. The money
invested in a comprehensive EMR and patient management system will return in
ways beyond financial benefits. The patient’s Electronic Medical Record
is a communication tool, used to track a patient’s medical history, and
to record problems or ailments and the steps taken to resolve those problems.
The Electronic Medical Record streamlines patient information management and
enables practice-wide clinical workflow automation. With a flexible and easily
customizable solution available, Amas Medical Services delivers
both clinical and financial benefits. Amas medicals organizes communication and
information within the practice and with other authorized medical
practitioners. It also manages orders, procedures, prescriptions, lab results
and other data with authorized International Medical organizations as per
company requirements.
