ACOM EMR Releases Rapid EMR v. 3.7, Adding Enhanced Data Import, Cloning and Mutation Capabilities to its Flagship Chiropractic Software Solution
Enhanced version of graphically oriented SOAP notes and reports software solution allows import of any previous patient visit, treatment or exam note, eliminating need to reenter recorded data on new blank page. Unique data mutation feature allows existing pages to be cloned and modified using stored phraseology in doctors own words versus canned lexicon structured by programmers.
St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) June 17, 2005 -- Further strengthening its
position as the most innovative and cost-effective clinical e-documentation and
reporting solution in the chiropractic and related health care fields, ACOM EMR
has launched RAPID EMR v. 3.7, incorporating advanced data import, document
cloning and mutation features that allow doctors to maintain the uniqueness of
their SOAP notes and reports while gaining dramatic savings in time and effort,
it was announced today by Gregory T. Church, vice
president.
“Precision and consistency are critical to
the documentation of diagnoses and treatment within the clinic and beyond, where
getting paid can be a tug-of-war and the scrutiny of IMEs can lead to
unjustified challenges,” Church said. “The unique approach used in our data
import schema can prevent many such headaches for our
customers.”
RAPID EMR 3.7 enables doctors to import
all or part of the data contained in any previously completed SOAP or exam note
to create a new document, eliminating the need to begin with a blank page and
reenter all personal, diagnostic, symptom and treatment information for each
patient visit. Previously, only the information from the immediately previous
document has been available.
The new cloning feature
allows doctors to replicate any previous document, with the newly created
document independent of the original and open to such modifications as are
appropriate.
Where treatments and conditions do not
change from visit-to-visit, RAPID EMR’s new mutation capability allows doctors
to modify the cloned document using their own stored terminology to indicate
that the patient visit has in fact occurred and that a treatment/exam has been
performed. Time spent reconstructing the respective document is avoided as is
the likelihood that a claim or billing will be challenged.
According to Church, competitors’
randomization-mutation approaches rely on canned phraseology, which can lead to
newly created documents being questioned as well as result in alterations of
meaning. Conversely, in the RAPID EMR approach, text boxes are provided for
diagnostics and treatment pages in which doctors can build their own sets of
phraseology to use to differentiate cloned documents. And rather than automate
the random mutation of documents as competitive solutions do, RAPID EMR allows
its users to review each modification to assure that meaning is not changed in
any way.
“There is risk in playing with language, and
this capability provides doctors with positive security,” Church said. “Version
3.7’s ability to push data into new documents or to pull it from sources within
the solution is a valuable addition to an already highly flexible documentation
process. With the continuing input of doctors, RAPID EMR continues to lead the
way in providing documentation power and convenience for
clinicians.”
