e-Medsys EHR for Your Orthopedics Practice

Making No Bones About Tracking Your Clinical Data.

Managing the medical and clinical data of an orthopedics practice can be tricky.  There are so many nuances involved such as multiple cases on the same patient and transcription / image data to be processed and stored.

Data on Fractures / Fracture Management, Muscle Tenderness, Numbness, Joint Pain, Swelling, Stiffness, Tendon Dysfunction, Numbness, pain / injury from headache to foot and ankle all need to be tracked and stored correctly, along with Physical Therapy data and evaluations. 

Trigger point injections, spinal issues, nerve neurotomy / nerve procedures, balance, walking, gait, and more all have to be tracked by the orthopedist. 

 

e-Medsys EHR for Your Specialty

While our e-Medsys EHR and e-Medsys PM are available separately based on the needs of the practice, the combination of both results in an extraordinary, single suite of automation solutions from which medical practices of any size and specialty can benefit.


Debbie Fair of Northwest Orthopedic Specialists in Spokane, WA relates how their thirty one physicians over five locations use e-Medsys EHR to effectively and efficiently manage this high volume, multi-orthopedic specialty practice. 

According to Debbie, “The e-Medsys EHR system is a lifesaver for us.  We have “specialties within a specialty” and we can create our own templates accordingly. In this type of high volume setting, with patients being seen for the entire gamut of orthopedic medical care, we needed something that would quickly capture the encounters and have the data input by the providers during the encounters entered into e-Medsys PM on-the-fly for quick billing.”

She further noted “The byproduct of this would be to keep patients and workflow moving throughout the practice.  e-Medsys EHR has done this, and more.  Selecting PracticeOne and their e-Medsys solutions was one of the best decisions we ever made.

e-Medsys EHR Handles Orthopedic Clinical Data Effortlessly

The system not only quickly captures encounter data, it also ensure optimal coding and reimbursement through PracticeOne’s patented E / M Coder.   Likewise, our own Health Watcher feature ensures that patients needing follow up care are reminded of that while also alerting the practice to these patients.

e-Medsys EHR has built-in Prescription Management allowing for quick selection of medications based on formularies, and then with easy refill capabilities.  The system shows alerts on allergies, interactions and expirations. 

The e-prescribing feature allows providers to submit prescriptions directly to the patient’s pharmacy while tracking prescribed medications at the same time…extremely useful for identifying groups of patients to whom certain medications were prescribed, should that need ever arise. 

e-Medsys EHR supports Voice and Handwriting Recognition…two areas of high importance, especially to an orthopedics practice.

Physicians, physical therapists, and other caregivers can transcribe (dictate) their notes directly into the patient’s record in true “voice to text” format eliminating costly outside transcription, and the wait-times often associated with them.

Orthopedic-related templates not only make for quick data capture during the encounter, but also provide for a quick means to dictate orthopedic reports and consult letters.

Handwriting allows for notations to be made, drawings, etc. which then become part of the patient’s record.

These transcribed and handwritten items are easily retrieved through the patient’s record, eliminating paper and files and the headaches associated with paper and files. 

And with providers using e-Medsys EHR’s built-in electronic superbill and integration to e-Medsys PM, diagnoses, procedures and fees are automatically input as part of the encounter.  When the patient stops at the desk before leaving, that data is already in the system!  No need for office staff to post this data from paper superbills.

Because e-Medsys EHR stores clinical and medical data electronically, the information is securely available to all authorized users from any location, now.  Questions such as “where is the file?” or “can you fax that report to me?” are eliminated. 

e-Medsys EHR is truly the lifesaver Debbie Fair says it is for Northwest Orthopedic Associates, and it can be for your orthopedics practice as well…whether your practice has one orthopedist in a single location practice or multiple providers in multiple locations.
