Case Study: EMR Provides Document Management Solutions Dr. Jack Devine, Internal Medicine, Lewisburg, PA
Challenge: Dr. Devine, after an extended search, selected ChartWare as the best electronic medical record software for his office. With a busy internal medicine practice, Dr. Devine and his staff were pleased to find the ChartWare system could solve their clinical charting needs. The practice serves over 2400 patients and with ChartWare, the providers have their notes complete at the point care and they are always legible as well as accessible anywhere there is internet access. After easily implementing ChartWare in his practice, Dr. Devine found that it was time to rid himself of the old paper charts. He also needed to efficiently manage the volumes of outside medical documents and old records that arrived each day at his office. Wanting to be completely paperless was the reason he initially selected ChartWare.
Solution: Dr. Devine knew that the ChartWare imaging module provided the ideal solution for taking his office entirely paperless. The quality of the ChartWare imaging software, the advanced capabilities in scanning technology, and the capacity for cost effective electronic record storage made the decision to go paperless an easy one.
Results: Dr Devine is able to scan into ChartWare all letters, consult reports and outside records that are sent to his office on a daily basis. He was also able to tear down his old patient medical charts, and import those records into ChartWare for future retrieval. Within 30 days all 2400 paper charts were scanned and linked to the patient's electronic medical record. Dr. Devine is now saving more than $45,000 per year by using ChartWare instead of paper charts. Even more importantly all his records are right where he needs them to be, accessible at all times night and day.
Case Study: Healthcare system finds an EMR that won't slow them down. Paynesville Area Healthcare System, Paynesville, Minnesota
Challenge: This rural healthcare system operates multiple sites each with a varied mix of inpatient and outpatient services. The sites include a hospital with an emergency department, a long term care facility and 7 clinics. Ancillary services include acupuncture, physical therapy, lab, x-ray and pharmacy. Because the healthcare system is geographically fragmented each individual site was maintaining a separate paper chart. Paynesville's goal was to find a cost effective EMR that could be centrally located but widely accessible from their multiple sites. Other requisite EMR attributes affecting the selection process included ease of use, adaptability to customization requests and features such as alternative data entry formats, reminders, medication lists and search capabilities for quality assurance research.
Solution: Dr. Timothy Malling's search for an EMR took several years and over 20 vendors were reviewed. He knew that ChartWare had what Paynesville was ultimately looking for. ChartWare's clinical knowledge base could easily satisfy the EMR needs of the Paynesville healthcare system while possessing the necessary flexibility to meet users' requests for modifications. There would be no need spend the first 6 months building our clinical vocabulary. Unlike the other EMRs ChartWare would not require providers to reduce their production in order to learn the system.
Results: ChartWare has kept pace with the needs of a growing healthcare system without compromising either productivity or quality of care. Providers spend less time charting and do not stay late to get caught up because most notes are finished by the time the patient encounter is completed. The nursing staff is very happy with ChartWare as they now have on demand access to a complete patient medical record making nursing care more about nursing and less about finding the chart. The physicians taking call have a patient's entire medical history, medications and problems and allergy lists at their fingertips. ChartWare has enhanced not only patient care but the bottom line as well.
