Solutions: Electronic Medical Records - EMR - Advantages

An EMR is more than a mere repository for medical data. digiChart OB-GYN will revolutionize your practice by delivering numerous communication, administrative, reporting, regulatory and financial benefits. We trust your entire practice will benefit from our EMR.

Improve Clinical Workflow with OB-GYN-specific Tools
digiChart invested thousands of hours studying how an OB-GYN practice actually functions. We watched how patients flow from check-in, examination and treatment, to check-out and billing. We worked with OB-GYN physicians and their staff to understand exactly what happens at an initial OB visit, a follow-up visit or an annual GYN visit. From its inception, digiChart OB-GYN was designed to provide the most relevant patient information and clinical data that clinicians need to make informed medical decisions.

Access Patient Information - Anytime, Anywhere
OB-GYN is a 24 x 7 specialty. An EMR for OB-GYN must be accessible anywhere, at anytime. With digiChart, you only need a computer with Internet connectivity to utilize the system. Because records are updated as you or your staff change them, you can review the latest patient information from any location. Even hospital L&D staff can be given access to a patients latest ACOG Antepartum Record.

Increase Quality of Care and Patient Satisfaction
digiChart OB-GYN includes a "Patient Portal" Web site, which offers a convenient way for patients to enter their medical history prior to their office visit - from the comfort of their home or from a kiosk in your waiting room. The content of the history is both general and specific to OB-GYN. For OB patients, this data will electronically create a history narrative and populate their ACOG Antepartum Record. With the Patient Portal, digiChart OB-GYN reduces time spent gathering medical history, allowing you to spend more time with patients on their exams, treatment plans and education. Patients appreciate your ability to work more closely with them.

Reduce Clinical and Liability Risks
Directly at the point of care, digiChart OB-GYN provides legible, consistent patient documentation for safe medical decision-making. Our EMR allows for easy review prior to seeing a patient by displaying critical information and a comprehensive patient summary of all visits. Before seeing a patient, you can study previous visit notes, the patient-reported history and their current vitals. The patient's problems, medications, lab results and surgical history are always available. When prescribing medication, digiChart OB-GYN automatically checks for possible drug interactions and alerts you to potential problems. All of these tools reduce clinical and liability risks.

Increase Productivity and Reduce Expenses
With digiChart OB-GYN, your practice becomes more efficient and more productive. You will document patient encounters quickly, and information will flow more easily to the right people throughout your office. These efficiency gains can enable your practice to see more patients without decreasing the amount of personal time spent with them. Additionally, transcription and chart-pulling expenses can be eliminated. Once you are "paperless," medical records space can be modified for any number of more profitable purposes. With digiChart OB-GYN, you can provide limited chart access to labor and delivery staff and consequently reduce overhead needed to run charts to the hospital. All of these productivity gains lead to a positive return on investing in digiChart OB-GYN.
