In today’s fast-paced healthcare landscape, integrating online booking systems with your EMR is an essential part of boosting the productivity of healthcare providers. Its benefits include automated appointment reminders, a self-check in and appointment booking/modification features. For clients, it facilitates efficient information exchange and enhance continuity of care. By exploring the advantages of this integration, we can understand how it revolutionizes healthcare operations.
What is an EMR (Electronic Medical Record)?
An electronic medical record (EMR) is a digital database that stores client information you’d typically find in a healthcare providers paper chart. The information includes their bio, medical history, diagnoses, medications, immunization dates, allergies, lab results and doctor’s notes. EMRs are mostly used by providers for diagnosis and treatment and in simple terms is just a replacement for paper records.
