Dr. Eric Price, How has Allscripts HealthMatics EHR affected your daily practice?

Allscripts HealthMatics EHR has let me manage my patients more efficiently. I am able to keep track of everything going on with a patient from any location. From my office, in an exam room with the patient, or at my house through a secure VPN connection, I’m able to assist. Most importantly, it lets me communicate with my nurse more easily, and we are able to handle and take care of all issues that come up throughout the day. It has helped us work better as a team. I can order lab tests and get results back through bi-directional interfaces we have set up with our in-house and outside lab. We are currently working on interfaces with a nearby hospital and imaging center. Read more...
