Accuro^® EMR

I want to coordinate my administrative and clinical functions in one system.

Electronic Medical Record is the electronic storage and instant availability of clinical information to authorized users at the point of care. Just like paper charts, they contain all the information relevant to the treatment and nursing of a patient.

• Retrieve information from anywhere using the internet
• Increase productivity by accessing information by multiple users concurrently
• Create an audit trail and protect patient confidentiality
• Increase statistical value, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of data

I want to eliminate duplication of data entry.

Optimed Software knows that clinics spend too much time constantly entering the same data into duplicate forms. Accuro EMR offers a database of 500+ forms used by physicians on the system, across the specialties, for your use and the ability to have any form that you use in your practice easily made electronic with automatic input of patient and physician information. You can customize data input by setting up electronic check boxes, drop-down lists, and or text boxes.

Accuro^® EMR provides flexibility in the collection of information by allowing you to choose your method of documentation. Using the forms in Accuro you can input information by:

• Drawing
• Typing
• Handwriting
• Voice to text software

Record your clinical notes just like you did with a clip board or recorder, with the added benefit of knowing that record is automatically and securely attached to the patient's electronic file.

Accuro^® EMR doesn't ask you to change your workflow behaviours; it just allows you to make those workflows more efficient and secure.

I want to organize my patient charts.

Virtual charting allows for the input, organization, and presentation of clinical data in a consistent and intuitive format. Everything contained in a patient's paper chart is now stored in an electronic medical record including clinical notes, family medical history, and appointment records. Since the information is digitally encoded, with Accuro, physicians receive immediate and interactive chart access online; whether from the clinic, hospital, or home.

Having data in electronic form allows for enhanced reporting capabilities such as those required for chronic disease management. Reporting in Accuro uses powerful, relational data structure so that you can run a report, for example, to show all diabetic patients over the age of 50 that have not been seen in the last 6 months.

Using virtual charts, faxing no longer requires chart pulls and photocopying first. Fax to other healthcare providers or insurers and you'll be able to track where, when, and to whom each fax was sent. You can retain a copy of any incomplete faxes for resending later. Since it is fully integrated with the Physician Directory, Accuro's fax tools save your clinic significant amounts of time, while improving the audit trail of your information.

Accuro's built-in fax software allows you to fax and receive faxes from your PC:

• Letters
• Forms
• Images
• Documents

Also, all incoming documents can be electronically filed to a patients chart with a few mouse clicks. Plus, you eliminate an incoming paper fax, which brings you closer to the goal of a paperless office.

With manual filing a thing of the past, intuitive reporting capabilities, and 24/7 access to your patient data through the internet, Accuro EMR will have you wondering how you ever operated without it.

I want to produce secure and legible prescriptions.

Does your pen and paper back you up when your pharmacists have questions about what you have prescribed? Legible prescriptions and fewer pharmacy questions are yours with Accuro EMR. Accuro offers the security of a permanent record that includes alerts for allergic reactions.

• Create, manage, and track prescriptions for your patients.
• Print prescriptions in a clean, easy-to-read format.
• Save your commonly used prescription settings for quick prescription.
• Renew prescriptions with the click of the mouse.
• Display lab results on the same screen as medications for easy comparison.

Feel comfortable knowing you are producing clear prescriptions that are backed with the security of an encoded record that shows what you prescribed is what you meant to prescribe.

I want to electronically generate and store letters.

If writing clear, concise letters is part of your workflow, then Accuro is meant for you. Accuro was built to allow physicians to reduce dictation with letter generation that produces professional letters topped with your custom letterhead.

Accuro contains the Physician Directory so that when a patient is loaded, the name of the referring physician and their address is automatically set in the outgoing letter. Finished consult or referral letters can be sent directly from the system via fax, thereby producing no paper. As well, you can electronically attach lab results, clinical forms, and/or generated data summaries to the letter.

Accuro EMR is voice to text software compatible and transcription workflow is included. As with all other functions, Accuro is extremely configurable. You can establish your own unique letter templates with clickable key words in order to reduce redundant dictation.

All incoming and outgoing letters are saved directly to the patient's chart for instantaneous access, with a stamp of where and when they were sent, so that you always have a paper trail - without the actual paper.

I want to receive and analyze electronic lab results.

Accuro EMR provides you with the tools to manage electronic lab results both efficiently and effectively. Using the HL7 standard, lab results automatically download directly to your account. In Accuro, the results are graphed for comparison with previously received results - whether they were electronic or manually entered.

Electronic test results are available from:

• Excelleris
  • MDS Metro
  • BC Biomedical
  • Valley Labs
• Calgary Laboratory Services (CLS)
• Capital Health Region in Alberta
• Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region

Abnormal test results are highlighted for your immediate review and you can graph medications against the results to quickly find any drug interactions.

With Accuro, you can receive and review lab results online and eliminate the labour intensive handling and tracking issues associated with paper-based lab results.
