Use of subscription model with ASP (application service provider) -based EMR is affordable to just about any practice size. No licensing cost with large capital expense. Digichart has a dedicated ob/gyn EMR, using ACOG forms. Although a radical thought, the approach of establishing a new record for all patients is a practical way to simply avoid any need for scanning the old records of established patients. With use of patient portal prior to visit, the labor of data entry is transferred to the patient. Need for reference to info in the old paper chart would be the exception in workflow. For the low percentage of patients who can not or do not complete patient history prior to visit, this can be done by patient at a work station at time of visit. Zach Newton Z. B.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
