Several innovative uses of EMR-based data were recounted by NorthShore’s president and CEO Mark Neaman at the annual congress of the American College of Healthcare Executives on March 19, and were later recorded by Fierce Health IT.

A recent article published by ACP Internist focused on the value of diagnosing the proper disorder based only on a few symptoms.

While studies have shown that EMR implementation is rising in the United States, a recent survey found that EMR adoption is rising faster in small medical facilities (defined as having roughly one or two practicing physicians) than larger facilities.

Considering the task of storing all this data, facility managers interested in enhancing their EMR with clinical images would benefit from deploying the assistance of a medical technology consulting company.

Issues with prescription medication addiction and abuse have been identified as a significant global problem. However, many different news sources recently reported on a separate issue associated with prescription medication intake: weight gain.

Considering that treating a deeper problem may be able to help a patient sleep better and avoid potentially dangerous sleeping pills, medical facility managers should consider the benefits of implementing electronic medical records software.

For other facilities looking to qualify for entry into a HIE by optimizing their digital infrastructure through the implementation of electronic medical records software, the process could be catalyzed through the deployment of a medical technology consulting company.

A recent report published by the Green Bay Press-Gazette, a Wisconsin news source, indicates that electronic medical records software can not only ensure a facility’s compliance with government regulations, but also enhance its time management.
