The electronic medical record system provides a number of features which improve safety and access to health care for our patients. Your photo will be on the system for identify verification, charts are always filed away out of sight and access. The users of the system have passwords, enhancing the level of privacy. Prescription safety and convenience is made possible because the scripts are typewritten, readable, and can be instantly faxed to the pharmacy. Allergies are listed on the same page as the prescriptions are written. Adverse drug reactions are flagged instantly to be sure there are no medication conflicts.

Communication to the medical community is enhanced because EMR has a direct link to the laboratory, to the chart and to the provider's desktop. Abnormal results are flagged and are before the provider immediately.
