EMR Advantages
The digital version of paper-based medical record, Electronic
Medical Record (EMR) contains data related to patient
encounters, lab tests, radiology tests and so on, captured or
transcribed in the electronic format. EMRs also contain
scanned images of paper
documents and images
of X-rays and scans. The
deadline
for
EMR
implementation is 2015.
A
structured
and
integrated method of
collecting,
preserving,
retrieving, and sharing of
a patient’s healthcare
record, EMRs integrated with medical transcription are
helping physicians improve patient care and productivity.

• Data can be tracked over time, enhancing the quality of
care
Electronic Medical Records or EMR ensure that patient
healthcare information is communicated, shared and used
more efficiently. HIPAA demands better, secure,
comprehensive, and auditable medical records.
Regardless of how useful EMR systems are, the best way to
improve patient care and physician productivity is to
integrate EMR with medical transcription solutions. Rather
than focusing on data entry into the digital system,
physicians can rely on dictation and get reports and notes
transcribed by a professional medical transcription company.
Affordable medical transcription services with feeds to
EMR/EHR are available.
