The Paperless Practice.
How much time does your staff spend looking for misplaced or
lost charts? Now inputting and accessing patient information
can be as easy as clicking a mouse. An electronic medical records
system can streamline medical practices, allowing physicians
to focus on patient care, not paperwork.
 Eliminate
paper charting and lost records.
In the past, medical offices had desks stacked with patient
charts and an entire room dedicated to storing patient records.
An electronic medical records (EMR) system virtually eliminates
the need for paper charts, as well as much of the work associated
with managing large amounts of patient information. Staff
members no longer need to spend time looking for misplaced
or lost charts.
For practices with multiple locations, EMR makes it possible
to access patient data from any office without transporting
paper charts. Physicians can choose how they want to input
data and which information to record. Patient notes can be
entered electronically in real time in the examination room,
reducing or eliminating time spent dictating and transcribing..
Notes also can be written by hand, either right on the computer
screen or on paper and then scanned in to the computer. Voice-recognition
capability allows even more flexibility. |
Access information anywhere at any time.
Whether you are at home, making rounds at the hospital or
on the road, accessing patient records is fast and easy. Use
virtually any computer with Internet access to securely view
a patient’s medical history, lab results, medication list
and more.
A paperless fax feature allows the entire patient chart –
or a single radiology report – to be sent or received instantaneously
to and from other offices. All EMR features are password preotected
to ensure security. Colonial Medical Group’s EMR technology
is fully compliant with HIPAA regulations to safeguard patient
privacy.
Increase productivity for better patient care.
A number of features allow for more efficient and better patient
care. A full drug database is updated quarterly so that the
most recent drug-interaction alerts are available. Any number
of forms – including Worker’s Compensation, prescriptions,
hospital forms and immunization records – can be filled out
in much less time.

Cost Savings
After implementing an effective EMR system, many practices
experience significant cost savings and a lower overall cost
of doing business day-to-day. Paper and printing costs drop
dramatically, and much less labor is needed than with the
old system of maintaining and filing paper charts.
 Better
time management
Increased productivity and more efficient allocation
of staff are just some of the benefits. Physicians often
find they are able to see more patients and provide a higher
level of patient care. By implementing an EMR system, you
are able to save time and money while focusing on quality
care.
