Advantages of Electronic Medical Charting

There are many advantages to having electronic medical software whether in a hospital, clinical or physician’s office setting.  Electronic medical software is critical when time is of the essence and medical information accuracy matters the most -- without it, many medical professionals would be lost.  One unique and exceptional feature of medical clinical software is that a physician can go into a patient's record and make additions from the progress note screen and the rest of the file is automatically updated from that one single action.

The medical clinical software comes complete with a physician’s dashboard which lets a doctor view all the critical and important patient information -- messages, incoming results and daily office and patient information -- from one screen. Additional information contained on the dashboard includes physician notes, documentation and lab test results. This can save valuable time and effort when for the already busy world of medical professionals.

Medisoft clinical software allows a physician or other medical professional easy access to important information which results in better and more efficient patient care.  The extensive knowledge base of medical charting software includes; web access to hundreds of diseases and medications, progress note templates, diagnosis guidelines, treatment protocols, and health maintenance information based on specific patient information.  Doctors and other medical professionals have access to thousands of prescription templates and a comprehensive and informative database of prescription drug costs, interactions, allergy and proactive dose response advice.

With the assistance of EMR software, many medical professionals are able to reorganize offices and departments to function more effectively and efficiently.  Patient information is completely protected and kept confidential which is why more and more medical professionals and organizations are deferring to the use of electronic medical software for charting patient information.  Another advantage of using electronic medical software is the margin for error drops to zero if the information is entered correctly -- the chart is automatically updated and the rest of the information is corrected as a result.

 With electronic medical software a doctor is able to keep up with patient care information entered by other medical professionals at the touch of a button.  There is no question if a certain test has been ordered or if patient is taking a prescribed medication in the right dosage.  Everything necessary to protect the health of the patient and liability of the medical professional has been safeguarded with the advent of electronic medical charting.
