  Medical Transcription in the Era of Electronic Medical Records

  Electronic Medical Records – Multiple Data Input Options

The most critical part of any Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is the method of data entry. EMR is about aggregation of patient encounter data at the point of care in order to provide a complete, accurate, and timely view of patient information. An electronic medical record is not just a typed record of the patient encounter, but an extremely useful decision support tool. The data can be entered into the EMR via any of the two general mechanisms: direct entry by the physician using point and click templates or transcription of dictated notes.

  OmniMD^™ prescription writer can save time and reduce medication errors

Medication errors can occur at any stage in any healthcare environment. In fact, according to an Institute of Medicine report in 1999, up to 98000 people die each year because of errors that could have easily been prevented. Medical errors do not only happen in hospitals, it can also occur in the clinics, in outpatient department of hospitals and even at the pharmacy. Most of these errors are caused by illegible handwriting, incorrect dosage selections, and adverse drug-drug or drug-allergy interactions. Electronic prescribing could substantially reduce these errors.

  Charge capture software can speed up reimbursement and eliminate lost charges

One of the most common causes for inaccurate or lost billing is that physicians find it difficult to record all patient encounters at the end of the day, especially when they visit hospitals or other clinics. It may seem simple that physicians bill for each of the services they provide. Yet practices lose thousands of $$ yearly as a result of missed charges without realizing it. According to an estimate, physicians forget to record up to 20% of patient encounters, meaning they don't get paid for them. Physicians can reduce lost charges, denied claims, and time-to-billing rates by using automated charge capture mechanism at the point of care.

  Referral Management - Simplify communication between physicians

Medical records need to be shared with referral physicians very often in an ambulatory clinical setting. To share the records with an external referral specialist, these must be printed from electronic medical record and then faxed. Similarly, in case of inbound referrals, since information is received via fax, referral physicians have to use paper records in addition to electronic medical record software. Unfortunately, inspite of being an indispensable feature of Electronic Medical Record Software, most of the current EMR products do not include Referral Management.
