This site is under construction, and will go live real soon.
Stay tuned, for tips on transitioning smoothly to an EMR, getting used to it, then making it work super efficiently for you and your patients.
I have 5 continuous years of experience with an EMR system — NextGen — which is now being used across all our medical group offices, and being adopted as the system of choice for the local primary care and specialty groups for our IPA.
But the insights I’ve gleaned apply to any EMR system, regardless of vendor. How you work on paper, switch to keyboards or tablets, and use or misuse your system — and how you can customize it to you, instead of you to it — are all independent of your system’s manufacturer, or your own specialty.
You can make choices that toughen your days (ever wanted to throw your computer out the window, or pound your mouse to get its attention?), or that make your practice flow as smooth as it did before — smoother, even, with better documentation, error checking, and justified upcoding. Even seeing more patients, faster and safer.
