Emerging Environment
Today’s healthcare industry’s ever changing rules and regulations pertaining to reimbursement are leading to tighter margins, tougher compliance regulations, denied reimbursement, increase financial and medical-legal liability, increased documentation requirements, and stressed professional and ancillary staff relationships. The progressively complex rules for reimbursement, while developed to ferret out fraud and abuse, have begun to take on the appearance of the U.S. Tax Code. Additionally, the odds of a HCFA/OIG audit are becoming more probable than a lunch visit from the IRS.
What is the solution? A documentation product that is:
· Compliant
· Complete
· Inexpensive
· Provides immediate medical record
availability
· Legible
· Intuitive
· Maintains the highest quality rendition of the Physician-Patient-Nurse-Hospital interaction, which creates a document also known as the "Narrative Portrait"· MOST IMPORTANTLY: A documentation tool that is utilized by both physicians and nurses.
The ultimate success of any documentation solution rests in its acceptance and effective implementation. Despite quality technology existing for the last 10 years that made Electronic Medical Records (EMR) a viable alternative to the traditional hand-written model, the single most pervasive force in failure to implement technological tools is the inability to get it used. Many factors have been blamed on this reticent end-user attitude. Often, management doesn’t feel it can entice, much less force conformity. Others say physicians and nurses aren’t interested in navigating the learning curve. On the surface, both of these arguments may appear correct, but the truth is, physicians and nurses are a group of individuals proven to be superior learners. Additionally, they spent most of their learning life conforming to a set of strictly rigid guidelines, that were dictated to them by their superiors. So why has no mass transition into electronic medical record documentation occurred in healthcare? Failure to integrate an electronic documentation standard into the environment of Emergency Medicine has occurred for 2 major reasons:
1) Failure to develop an implementation model that takes into account the end-users needs as they pertain to the occupational environment, with all of its inherent stressors.
2) Lack of a suitable product that combines all the previous mentioned items, while maintaining a flexible, easy to learn interface that maintains the individuals practice and documentation style. A product that would encompass all of these items would enhance the "Narrative Portrait" and serve to maintain the quality in medicine that was once taught and referred to as the "Art of Medicine". Such a product would be a hybrid between dictation, hand-written records, and paper templates. Such a product exists. The people at ER RECORDS, Inc. have developed the most user friendly, most comprehensive system of electronic medical record documentation available today. They present the software systems of DOCTORS CHOICE and NURSES CHOICE. This integrated software system covers all documentation needs, from registration, to triage, through discharge instructions and prescriptions.

With rapid point and click data input, the system also has voice recognition integration capabilities. Thoroughly field tested for over 4 years, the developers at ER RECORDS, Inc. bring to the industry the most advanced, comprehensive, and user friendly electronic medical record software system available today. They give medical professionals the tool they need to illustrate the "Narrative Portrait" and help maintain the "ART" in medicine.Group Description:
