Frequently Asked Questions

A. The Bottom line is that the efficiency of EMedicalNotes will save time and money. The obvious is the immediate savings in paper costs. Larger areas of savings are seen with the elimination or reduction of costly transcription and dictation. Just the time it takes to the repetitive office functions like, refilling prescriptions and faxing

A. No, with EMedicalNotes EMR you can get rid of paper charts completely since anything in the office will be generated electronically and anything from outside the office will be scanned and filed a patient chart. Even the old paper chart can and should be scanned in the appropriate sections of the patient electronic chart.

A. Gradually. Once a 'Go Live' date is set, we suggest that you start scanning the charts of patients that are already scheduled. That way when you start seeing patients on the 'Go Live' date, you will have these patients paper charts scanned in, so you don't have to refer to physical paper chart.

A. Yes. Fully HIPPA compliant.

A. Yes. EMedicalNotes is HL7 compliant so it can import any labs from an HL7 compatible source, most labs do have that interface. We usually charge a small fee to make the interface with the lab but the lab itself is usually happy to pick up the fee if you do enough business with them. Not only can test results be downloaded directly into a patient chart but so can many in-office testing procedures. i.e. Bone density, EKG etc.

A. Definitely not, the data is on a server in your office. Even if you loose your Internet connection, you can continue to see your patients like usual. The only time you need the Internet is when you connect from outside the office, in that case you get connected to your server though the Internet securely. Again none of your data is on the Internet.

A. HTTPS is used for both inside and outside connections to the server, this is the same security protocol that is used by your bank and other web sites that need high security encryption.

A. You don't need to. We perform remote backups securely and automatically to all the data on your server once or twice daily. So you have an exact copy of your data in a secure remote location at all times.

A. We understand how valuable your data is to your practice, so we will immediately work on getting your server back up and running. Most of the time we can fix things remotely within few minutes without having to send somebody over to your office. If there is a major problem in the hardware itself where we can not fix it remotely, then we give you access to your backup copy of your data which you use exactly as you use your own server, so you will never have to practice without your charts

A. Yes. The internal prescription writer allows authorized employees to quickly create and fax prescriptions to any pharmacy. This allows patients to avoid the long lines and waiting periods previously experienced when dropping off prescriptions at the pharmacy.
