Nephrologist Connects to Patient Care with Accuro EMR
Wednesday, January 31, 2007
In Dr. James Barton's practice, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, he travels between four different sites to visit patients - often all in one day. This need for access to patient data while on the move lead Dr. Barton to chose an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. After researching several other EMR vendors, Dr. Barton chose Accuro EMR because he felt the Optimed Software Corporation "understood the Western Canada/Saskatchewan medical community."
Some of the benefits Dr. Barton has received using Accuro EMR:
- Improved continuity of patient care amongst the clinic's 5 physicians
- Reduction in 'catch-up' time by 1/d day to one full day
- Lower costs for paper and printing
Dr. Barton said "I have never felt this connected to patient care. Since the implementation of Accuro, I know more about my patients, which allows me to give complete care."
