Ottehr

Ottehr features an open-source ePrescriptions (eRx) module that helps healthcare providers manage prescriptions more efficiently. It allows users to search for medications, place orders, and view synced records of a patient’s medications and allergies. The system flags potential drug interactions or allergy risks and gives providers access to a patient’s full medical history in one place. If medication isn’t available, the software can assist in finding alternatives. Built on a FHIR-native framework, the eRx feature is also customizable, so clinics can adjust the interface and workflows based on their specific needs.

The software provides an open-source, customizable scheduling and registration tool that supports both in-person and virtual visits. Providers can manage their availability by location, group, or individual schedule, and publish open slots for patients to book directly. The patient portal allows users to view past appointments and book new ones without re-entering their details. Clinics can tailor intake and registration forms to suit their workflow and adjust scheduling preferences for specific hours or provider availability. Ottehr also integrates with its messaging tools, enabling appointment reminders and patient-provider communication from within the same system.

Ottehr’s queuing feature helps manage both virtual and in-person waiting rooms by organizing patients based on categories or priority. It allows staff to track patient forms and documentation in real time, ensuring everything is ready before the visit. The system also streamlines the process of initiating appointments, helping clinics maintain smooth patient flow and reduce wait times. This feature is designed to adapt to different clinical workflows, improving overall efficiency in patient management.

The platform supports hassle-free virtual appointments, allowing providers to connect with patients securely and conveniently from any location. The platform also includes remote monitoring capabilities, enabling continuous tracking of patient health data outside the clinic. These features help extend care beyond traditional visits, making it easier to manage chronic conditions and follow-up care remotely.

Ottehr’s patient intake feature streamlines the collection of essential patient information, including demographic details and consent forms. This process ensures that all necessary data is gathered efficiently before appointments, helping clinics maintain accurate records and improve the patient onboarding experience.
