There are numerous advantages to EHR, but the three that impact us the most on a daily basis are simply having all the charts available with the click of a mouse to all staff members, the ability to instantly generate a referral or consultation letter, and the E&M coding wizard, which uses bullet points from the medical encounter to determine the appropriate coding level. And more that any other program I have seen, MediNotes is by far the most customizable, and easily allows for changes "on the fly", making for fast and accurate clinical records.
