Docs Medical Group Enjoys over 12 Benefits with OmniMD Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
Charting, coding, writing prescriptions, and billing just got a whole lot easier for the multi-location, multi-specialty practice Docs Medical Group. By implementing an OmniMD EMR – Electronic Medical Records and Practice Management system, they were able to reduce under-coding by 70%, reduce no-shows by 50% and eliminate transcription completely. The benefits are vast, contributing both to the physician office and the administrative group. Let UPS Healthcare tell you more about the benefits Docs Medical has seen and check out the entire article here.
Bye, Bye Bundles of Files! Before EMR, the paper trail for a specialty practice like Docs Medical Group, a practice of over 20 physicians, was significant. Their specialties include:
- Cardiology
- Family practice
- Pediatrics
- Internal Medicine
- Gastroenterology
- Orthopedics
- Pain Management
- Ophthamology
- General Surgery
- Podiatry
- Allergy and Immunology
- Occupational Medicine and Endocrinology
Just imagine trying to track the paper trail for one patient across services!
Much more than Reducing Cabinet Space- The change from white coats carrying around files to them toting Tablet PCs or other handheld devices has done a lot more than reduce the need for cabinet space. With the whole group accessing records from the same server and with their records integrated with the hospital information system and laboratory center, check out 12 of the benefits the group has noted:

Prescription Writing Made Easy: Doctors like the fact that prescriptions can be automatically sent to the patient’s pharmacy. They also appreciate the feature that allows them to save their favorite prescriptions so they don’t have to write them over and over for different patients. On the other hand, pharmacies now have an easier job of deciphering what has been prescribed. Overall, just looking at the prescription process alone, it is easy to see that EMR has time savings and error reductions written all over it.
Patients are Satisfied with EMR, too: The medical group aren’t the only ones expressing satisfaction with the change. Their patients have noted they like the decreased wait time OmniMD™ EMR has allowed for. They also are happy they don’t have to fill out a long paper form while sitting in the waiting room.
