PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- EMRConsultant.com, a division of 1450, Inc., announces the immediate availability of a free service to physicians at EMRConsultant.com -- the Physician’s WorkBench, a patent- pending proprietary system that enables physicians to choose the proper Electronic Medical Record (EMR) solution. It will be showcased at the AAFP meeting in Orlando, starting today.
EMRConsultant.com has developed a method to assess EMR software programs to facilitate a systematic and comprehensive evaluation of medical records software products. EMRConsultant.com evaluates an EMR based upon the EMR’s core functional capabilities with respect to patient health information and data, test and lab results management, order entry, decision support, electronic communication and connectivity, compatibility with speech recognition, patient support and administrative processes. In addition, EMRConsultant.com takes into account the number of physicians in the practice or organization, the medical specialty or specialties of the practitioners, and the practice management software already in use in the organization.
Electronic Medical Records, also known as Electronic Health Records or EHRs, are vigorously promoted by the federal government and by private sector institutions such as national and state medical associations. In his State of the Union Address on January 20, 2004, President George W. Bush stated that “by computerizing health records, we can avoid dangerous medical mistakes, reduce costs, and improve care.” President Bush has articulated a goal of an EMR/EHR for every patient in America within 10 years.
One of the impediments to implementation of EMRs/EHRs is that physicians are confused by the hundreds of choices available. “Physicians considering whether to buy electronic medical record programs for their offices are particularly frustrated by the lack of good comparative information,” said Dr. Brailer, National Health Information Technology Coordinator.
Eric S. Fishman, M.D., president and founder of EMRConsultant.com, draws on 20 years of experience practicing orthopedic surgery and 10 years of experience distributing voice recognition software products in the medical sector for the production of medical records. “We significantly simplify the process of choosing the proper EMR,” says Fishman, President and founder of EMRConsultant.com.
