Tech Tips: An EMR System for Specialty Practices

Modernizing Medicine is an iPad-based electronic medical record system that caters specifically to specialty practices.

It has packages for dermatology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, otolaryngology, gastroenterology, and orthopedics. The cloud-based system is designed to be intuitive and is touch-based. It also collects and stores patient information, giving you instant access to clinical data so you can offer patients the best course of treatment.

In addition to the electronic medical records, Modernizing Medicine offers the Electronic Medical Assistant (EMA). Added to the electronic medical record, the EMA will automatically learn your preferences and help you document your patient visits.

By streamlining your documentation process, you can improve medical coding and reduce errors. According to Modernizing Medicine, the Electronic Medical Assistant helps doctors save an average of 60 to 90 seconds per patient visit.

The EMA is an example of adaptive technology: it uses predictive algorithms to learn about your practice and adapts to your unique style of medicine. For example, the conditions you treat most often are moved to the top of the list, so you won’t have to scroll to find your most common treatments. Enter data once into EMA and after that you can create patient encounter summaries, referral letters, patient treatment plans, and prescription orders.

In addition to the EMR and EMA, Modernizing Medicine offers EMA Outcomes. Outcomes, powered by the EMA Network, give you a snapshot of the entire chart. Clinical data is presented in an easy-to-understand graphical format. It will also display a visual timeline of a patient’s diseases and treatments, making it easy to determine if the condition is improving over time.

Use EMA Grand Rounds for clinical decision-making. Modernizing Medicine’s EMA Network also powers it and pulls clinical data from the entire network so you can see popular disease-specific treatments and have access to other clinical decision-making tools.

Modernizing Medicines systems are ONC-Certified for Meaningful Use.
