e-Medsys EHR for Nephrology is Your Rx!

Managing Your Renal Practice's Clinical Information

The need to capture a myriad of critical clinical data is perhaps the most essential necessity in the Nephrology practice. Many electronic health records systems are not robust enough for Nephrology, but that is definitely not the case with the e-Medsys EHR.

e-Medsys EHR is the system of choice for Nephrology, allowing for the easy capture of critical data.

Denver Nephrology of Denver, CO (www.denvernephrology.com) was recently cited by the Renal Physicians Association (www.renalmd.org) with RPA’s Exemplary Practice Award.

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.




 

Other Features Important to Any Specialty

Lab tests can be requested directly through the e-Medsys EHR with results being downloaded from the lab directly into the patient’s record, alerting the practice in the process, and with special alerts on abnormalities.

Health maintenance is tracked with e-Medsys EHR’s built-in Health Watcher. Physicians receive alerts on patients needing follow up care which may now be overdue, based on their medical condition.

In addition to the physicians being alerted, the patients also receive notices automatically generated by e-Medsys EHR.

And, e-Medsys EHR with PracticeOne’s own patented E / M Coder is always making sure that the correct codes are used for maximum reimbursement and to prevent under coding and over coding.

Our e-Medsys EHR will help your Nephrology practice (and your patients!) in so many ways.



Denver Nephrology Case Study

The practice has over twenty physicians in five locations where patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are treated. ESRD patients are seen at twenty one freestanding dialysis centers in and around the Denver metro area.

Denver Nephrology’s Comprehensive Renal Care Clinic (CRCC) was developed to treat CKD patients, with particular emphasis on Stages 3-5.

Careful evaluation of CKD patients helps determine courses of treatment. Treatment of:

  • Anemia
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes Mellitus
  • Hyperlipidemia
  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Bone and Mineral Abnormalities


and more are all part of Denver Nephrology’s scope of care.

Denver Nephrology provides Medical Director duties for Denver’s Presbyterian / St. Luke’s kidney transplant program, and the practice also operates a Clinical Research Division.

As can be imagined, Denver Nephrology is truly on the total leading-edge of Nephrology care.

And the electronic health records system chosen by Denver Nephrology as the backbone of their patients’ clinical and medical data management?

e-Medsys EHR from PracticeOne!

Bruce Fisch, MD of Denver Nephrology could not be more pleased that the 2007 CCHIT CertifiedSM e-Medsys EHR is the system handling the practice’s clinical and medical information management.

“Quite simply, we think e-Medsys EHR is the best system of its type. Templates are incredibly easy to configure and are excellent for Nephrology. Our paperwork has dropped dramatically while efficiency has improved beyond all expectation” noted Dr. Fisch.

Electronic superbills put encounter data directly into the e-Medsys PM for quick billing, and elimination of staff time needed to post from paper superbills.

On that, Dr. Fisch mentions “In a practice the size of Denver Nephrology, that is significant, and the ROI on that feature alone cannot be believed.”

Denver Nephrology issues huge numbers of prescriptions and refills per week, and prescription management could not be easier with the e-Medsys EHR Prescription Manager.

Medications are easily selected. Nephrologists can have their “favorites” list of medications, and prescriptions are transmitted electronically, directly to the patient’s pharmacy.

The Prescription Manager simplifies the issuing of new medications and refills, tracks expirations and produces alerts on allergies and interactions. And, with a Formularies database, medications can be selected, as approved by the patient’s insurance coverage.

Denver Nephrology is so pleased with e-Medsys EHR, that it is mentioned on the Denver Nephrology website! The practice wants their patients to know that their clinical data is being tracked and stored in the e-Medsys system.

They want their patients to know that the practice is fully automated and paperless, that immediate access to patient records by physicians - from any of the practice’s locations - is a reality.
