EMRLD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

I have a small office setup. Is this program too much for my needs?

EMRLD™ is completely flexible. For the physician in private practice it can be scaled to the single user on installation.

I have several satellite offices and setup for ambulatory surgery in some of those sites. How do I coordinate all the records?

EMRLD™ is built on a modular web-based platform. Either the entire program or just a single module such as the Scheduler can be installed in each site. As it is web based, each site is integrated with the next, and you can optionally turn on the features you prefer at each site.

What if I belong to a multi-physician group? Can we all use the program simultaneously?

EMRLD™ is web-based and therefore is accessible from any device, including PDAs such as a smartphone. The data is stored in two server locations and is designed for security and redundancy. If required, an additional mirrored server can be placed at your site to serve as a backup or switch should your internet service be interrupted.

What about security and patient confidentiality?

Each patient record is time and date stamped by the physician user. Patient records are restricted to the physician who created them, and the program assigns different levels of access dependent on the level of security of the user. Consistent with compliance to HIPAA regulations, the program also provides encryption of the patient data.

Why should I buy your product instead of a voice recognition program?

EMRLD™ is available with a variety of options that deliver a customized product for your specialty. Unlike standard voice recognition programs, Clinical Data Technologies has created specialized voice commands, vocabulary and scripts to take full advantage of clinical reporting. The purpose of an EMR is not just to replace paper charts with an electronic one. Rather, an EMR should add functionality and allow you to manage your patients and practice to optimize both clinical and financial goals. Our products are feature rich software suites that are focused on ease of data entry and thus optimum health care provider acceptance, while maintaining robust data capture and reporting. In addition to the heavy incorporation of advanced voice recognition technology and one-step templates, medical documentation is physician centric with specialty / department specific tools, patient and resource scheduling, disease/quality management and preventive care tools, evidence based guidelines, pharmacy and lab order entry systems, imaging and document management, medical device interfaces, as well as automated E&M coding, billing and outcomes analysis tools. The software meets industry standards for security, HIPAA compliance, and enterprise wide deployment. The products can be run on a variety of platforms and mobile devices, and can connect to both legacy and HL7 capable systems to fill a central niche in a healthcare system.
