For
an application to be widely adopted for clinical documentation at the
point of care, it must be quicker, easier to learn and more accurate
than existing recording methods. The use of assessment and care planning
templates that include personalized default language can provide an
operational tool set that enables organizations or individual clinicians
to create a convenient and familiar structure for the clinical encounter.
Pen-based point of care devices have proven to be the easiest to use
and quickest to learn.
When combined with personalized work flow options and detailed clinical
pick lists and defaults, these devices can allow a clinician to create
comprehensive documentation without ever touching a keyboard faster
than they can write or dictate. The documentation screens in EMRitus
assist the clinician to rapidly prepare complete patient encounter documentation.
This flexibility is provided without compromising in any way the quality
and integrity of the clinical information collected. This capability
is unique to EMRitus.
When combined with natural voice technology, which has finally reached
accuracy levels that now make it appropriate for widespread use, the
result is the perfect answer for health care. EMRitus uses standardized
languages combined with accurate voice recognition providing the best
combination of technologies possible to enable clinicians to document
quickly, comprehensively and accurately based on personal preferences
as to the methods used. We have combined state of the art voice recognition
technology with vast clinical vocabularies providing powerful options
which clinicians can choose to use in any combination they prefer.
EMRitus does not stop there however. The software also includes very
sophisticated image processing capabilities allowing scanned documents,
digital photos, medical drawings and notations and output from medical
equipment to be stored by the clinician or an assistant directly into
the patient chart. Notating on high quality drawings can be done quickly
and easily by the clinician using a pen or mouse at the point of care
or at a later time. By combining all available technologies into one
system, EMRitus empowers clinicians to document quickly and easily at
the point of care or immediately thereafter.
Clinicians can individually chose the combination of technologies that
they prefer to use to complete the clinical documentation process. The
result is detailed accurate clinical documentation and data that significantly
reduce cost while supporting quality patient care, ensuring accurate
billing and minimizing liability in the event of a regulatory audit
or malpractice claim.
