It is just that EHR’s go a lot further than EMR’s.
What is EMR? EMR is a digital version of standard medical and clinical data of a patient gathered on paper. The patient’s medical history remains at the clinician’s office. There are many advantages of having an EMR in place such as tracking data over time, identifying patients due for checkups, monitoring patient’s upon certain parameters, improving quality of care. The only constraint that can be seen in an EMR is that information cannot be easily passed on to providers outside of practice. These systems are better meant for diagnosis and treatment providers
What is EHR? Even EHR does provide all these facilities. It is just that they do something more than EMR’s. It focuses on total health of a patient going beyond standard patient data collected and including broader view on patient’s care. They are designed and built to share information with other healthcare providers so that they can pull out any information from any provider related to the patient’s care. This information can travel everywhere with the patient.
PMS – PMS (Practice Management System) is a category of Healthcare software that caters to day to day operations of a medical practice. The PMS software allows user to store every detail. It helps in capturing patient demographics, schedule appointments, maintain list of insurance payers, perform billing tasks and generate reports. It has three different variations of software namely desktop, client-server and internet based. It depends on the user to choose the right option according to the requirement. PMS are often connected to EMR systems and can be tightly integrated to all your major systems so that any updating done to your PMS will reflect in other systems as well.
LIMS – LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is a software system that manages modern laboratory’s operations. Its set of features fully supports its use in regulated environments. LIMS features have evolved over the years from sample management & tracking to an ERP tool that can manage multiple aspects of laboratory informatics. LIMS is very essential for a modern day laboratory as it manages numerous other operations apart from other simple functions.
CPOE – Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) is basically the process of electronic entry of physician instructions into the system instead of on paper. CPOE helps to maintain a better track of patient’s health and the patient details can be communicated to other physician/medical staff/department through computer network. CPOE reduces delay in order completion, errors related to handwriting or transcription, allows order entry at the point of care or off-site, provides error-checking for duplicate or incorrect doses or tests, and simplifies inventory and posting of charges. IT is very helpful while managing patients.
CIMS/HIS – CIMS (Clinical Information Management System) or HIS (Hospital Information System) are integrated systems that provide varied range of applications that extends to all clinical departments and automates the administrative and clinical documentation tasks. This automated system can be leveraged by hospitals/clinics to provide quality patient care as well as monitor the requirements of a healthcare provider. The use of these systems can prove to be fruitful as it helps in making better decision with respect to healthcare measures to be taken for a patient of particular age, gender and diagnosis.
Patient Portals – Patient Portals are healthcare related online applications that allow patients to interact and communicate with their healthcare providers, such as physicians and hospitals. These services are available on the internet for all hours of the day and night.
There are many other healthcare software like medical billing, mHealth, e-learning, ambulatory care etc. By leveraging the power of these healthcare software systems, healthcare organizations can improve their efficiency. These software systems, helps organizations to track patient needs and requirements better. Hence, as a Healthcare Service provider, you should definitely invest in Healthcare software.
