EMR Integration Solutions

Electronic medical record or EMR integration solutions sound great in theory. EMRs are:

• Easy to access
• Easy to secure
• Easy to share with other authorized health care professionals such as specialists and other referrals

However, what many clinicians are finding is that EMRs are not that easy to update and maintain. EMR salespeople encouraged physicians, clinicians, practice managers, and indeed the whole medical industry to invest in and adopt EMR software. But what they failed to provide were the human systems and solutions to take full advantage of their benefits.

iMedat provides EMR integration solutions for doctor’s offices, clinics, and health care networks that are easy to use. That means less time updating patient records and more time listening to patients. It also means less stress, less physician burnout, a better work environment for your clinicians.

EMR Integration Solutions a Question of Poor Implementation

EMR vendors sold their software packages on the promise that it would eliminate the need for medical transcription services. But what they failed to point out was that doctors and clinicians would now be forced to perform those tasks themselves. Checking boxes and filling in lines of text sounds easy enough. But the reality is that many doctors and clinicians find these tasks laborious and time consuming.

Asking high-paid clinicians to stop mid-patient to become data processors is greatly reducing productivity.

Most if not all clinicians see the value of electronic health records (EHRs). But they also understand that the system is broken. One 2020 Stamford study found that:

• 70% of physicians thought EHRs had improved over the previous five years, but
• 59% believed they needed an overhaul
• 54% said using these systems detracted from their professional satisfaction

A late-2019 study, also from Stamford, found that clinicians gave EMRs a rating of 45 out of 100. “There are a lot of inefficiencies in these systems, and many of those land on the shoulders of physicians,” said one doctor. Another said that EMRs were more of a distraction away from patients rather than a tool for better patient care. And again, physician burnout was cited as a huge downside of EMRs. Most clinicians feel at a loss, saddled with an EMR software package they didn’t choose and can’t use efficiently.

iMedat solves those challenges with customized EMR integration solutions customized to each clinician.

iMedat’s EMR Integration Solutions Improves Productivity

iMedat’s EMR integration solutions can help improve clinician productivity a number of ways. We provide two main services, medical transcription and medical virtual scribes, which provide the clerical support clinicians need, regardless of the type of medical records they keep. We can:

• Tailor medical transcription services to each clinician’s needs
• Provide support by converting dictation into structured and unstructured data, as necessary
• Allow clinicians to do any EMR updating they’re comfortable with and take care of the tasks they’re not
• Provide virtual scribing services for clinicians who do not want to document notes at all
• Provide a second set of professional eyes to flag potential inconsistencies

Asking clinicians to update medical records without the support of a clerical team doesn’t always make sense. Why ask a high-paid doctor to spend extra time doing their own clerical work when iMedat can do it faster and more efficiently?

Plus, we help HIMs and practice managers by streamlining the whole EMR updating process. This leads to:

• More data captured in structured data sets rather than unstructured
• Less time and effort auditing and editing patient records for compliance
• Less stress and hassle in the office

Overall, iMedat’s service can increase your productivity, boost your billables, and improve your workflows.
