The EMR systems in the clinics are always implemented keeping in view the size of clinic, the number of staff members, the workload and related issues. Whenever the EMR system is implemented a small research is conducted to check out the various factors in a clinic so that to make the implementation effective. In this regard, the size, workload and number of staff members hold the key importance. The complete EMR system depends on these factors majorly. It let the vendors decide that how the EMR would be implemented and how much depth of features and functions must be provided to the medical practice in order to run is smoothly without any problem.
There is no doubt, that once the EMR system has been implemented in the clinic, the clinic will start growing faster. The patients will be served with less time spent on them and in more effective manner. The doctor’s time will not at all wasted on the activities like writing patient information on paper files, dealing with pharmacies and laboratories and mainly, he will be able to provide complete attention to the patients. Ultimately, a large number of patients will be satisfied and the total number of patients visiting the clinic will increase. This phase will require the clinic to grow and to enhance its practices with better options to earn as more as possible.
At this stage, it will be required to conduct some changes in the EMR system apart from the software updates only. As the practice is grown, there are more patient, more staff can be needed to handle the practice and more organization and sophisticated solutions will be required. In this regard, you must keenly review the clinical processes and procedures and talk to your vendor about some more advanced and better EMR system in such clinical condition. You may need to change the complete system such as that you were earlier using the client/server EMR system and now your vendor suggests you the web based EMR system. Have some meetings with the vendor discuss the issues with him as the issues will be specifically related to your practice and implement it again to get better results.
