US healthcare systems are increasingly adopting Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Software technology to transform patient care. The robust technology of EHR systems helps providers offer better patient care by:
- Providing accurate and complete patient information at the point of care.
- Quick access to patient records to make timely care decisions.
- Enhance patient safety through the EMR software alerts feature.
- Enable safer medication prescribing.
FQHCs invest in clinical software
Many federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are investing in healthcare software solutions, and partnerships to meet the needs of vulnerable populations. Implementing electronic health records software enables community-based organizations to offer integrated and holistic care to their patients.
Recent EMR systems implementation by health systems
Compass Health Network
Compass Health Network, a federally qualified health center in Missouri has announced the deployment of NextGen EMR Software. The implementation aims to support integrated care.
The fully integrated solution offered by NextGen will allow the FQHC to offer improved care to its patients receiving oral health, primary care, and behavioral health services.
NextGen software will allow clinicians at Compass Health Network to have access to clinical records and actionable insight at the point of care.
New Mexico Family Clinic
New Mexico Family Clinic has implemented eClinicalWorks EHR software to boost interoperability across its different health services. The unified and comprehensive software system will allow the family clinic to operate smoothly as it grows.
Patient engagement will also enhance through the eClinicalWorks patient portal platform. This will keep patients empowered and stay on top of their healthcare journey. Through the portal, patients can easily schedule appointments, view lab results, update information, and communicate with their healthcare providers.
Medical University of South Carolina
The Medical University of South Carolina has collaborated with the Regional Medical Center (RMC), to help implement its Epic software throughout the organization.
RMC is currently using Cerner EMR software and is transitioning to Epic Systems to improve patient care and optimize workflows.
EMR Software technology
The use of EHR software is on the rise. The system helps to automate many tedious tasks and supports providers to offer high-quality patient care. The advancements in technology and software solutions are revolutionizing healthcare by increasing treatment effectiveness and offering quick access to patient records.
Many health systems are looking to include data standards, artificial intelligence, and predictive analysis to generate efficient EHR workflows and enhance the software technology.
