There’s no question the technology available to today’s professionals can enhance almost any industry’s functioning. But one thing is often forgotten: Relevancy.
Just because a certain tool, app or software program works for one industry, doesn’t mean it will have the same impact for yours. For optimum efficacy—which means the best ROI, most time saved and streamlined processes—it’s bests to invest in tech designed for your niche.
Will it be more expensive? Perhaps. Will you regret your investment? Definitely not.
Yes, the EHR (Electronic Health Record) software market is filled with options and some of them are truly impressive. But a paediatrician or paediatrics practice needs a unique set of guidelines when shopping for this technology.
You want administration to become more effective but less time consuming, right? We compiled the most important features that make this possible.
Step 1: General Features All EHR Packages Should Have
No matter which product a sales representative promotes, it must first adhere to the basic EHR requirements. Even specially designed paediatric EHR will quickly become more of a burden than a blessing if you can’t describe it in these ways:
- User-friendly and intuitive so staff can quickly adjust to using it
- Easy to integrate with other software
- Excellent security such as cloud based systems
- Competitive pricing while providing high quality products, effective training and preferably 24/7 customer service
- ICD-10 appropriate (updated from ICD-9 data)
- Customizable forms and templates
If your preferred product ticks all these boxes, move onto the next decision making process.
