High level efficiency: Medisoft Clinical is set apart from other EMR systems as a result of its unique design that automates completion of the entire chart from a progress note. When information like drugs, lab results, and vital signs is added to the note, the rest of the chart will automatically be updated.

Flexible documentation tools allow for adaptation to the provider's preferences and provide a choice of data entry methods, including: templates, speech recognition, transcription, digital pen, dictation, online patient data entry.

A provider dashboard lets you view all critical information " including messages, incoming results and a daily patient schedule " in one place. In addition, a review bin provides at-a-glance viewing of notes, documents and lab results. Physicians also are able to quickly see overdue orders and track each order by patient, status and expected time for a result to return. In addition, incoming results automatically update order status.

Improve quality " Medisoft Clincal provides easy access so that you'll have at your fingertips all of the information necessary for providing high-quality care. Its comprehensive knowledge base includes: -Online access to hundreds of disease and pharmaceutical protocols; -a wide variety of progress note templates for primary care and specialty cases; -health maintenance protocols tailored to patient age, sex, disease status, medications, and other information specific to a particular patient.

Improve safety: Ensure patient safety and streamline prescriptions and prescription refills with the use of electronic prescription software (SureScripts and RxHub). The program includes thousands of individual prescription templates, plus a complete database of medication costs and important checks like drug interactions, drug allergies, disease contraindications, diagnoses, and targeted, proactive dosage recommendations.

Physician tools: Analyze the note with a sophisticated coding advisor for Evaluation and Management codes using both the 1995 and 1997 CMS Documentation; Guidelines to optimize coding based on documentation. Load transcribed text and populate the entire patient chart including the problem list, medication list, medical histories and vital signs. Partially dictate a visit and have the transcribed text automatically go to the correct place in the note. Import and export chart summary data using CCD or CCR formats. Communicate with other practices' EMRs or with the patient's personal health record (PHR). When importing data, choose which chart sections to update while still keeping an entire copy of the imported document. Customize chart viewing by physician to allow provider (and specialty) specific views for charts, chart summaries and flow charts.
