Dr. Janet Markland

Practicing as a Rheumatologist for 20+ years, Dr. Markland had accumulated over 80,000 patient charts. She said, "Not only was I running out of storage space but also finding charts was often frustrating and time consuming for my staff." Using Accuro EMR, Dr. Markland has achieved instant access to charts for both her and her staff ? "no more searching and no more filing".

Practice Challenge

Using paper records, Dr. Markland's regular clinics in Nipawin and Melfort "meant loading up the car with large, heavy briefcases full of patient charts." If she required more information, her staff would have send over faxes or have long conversations relaying the details. Also, when attending conferences, Dr. Markland had no access to patient data if an emergency arose.
