Moving Forward with EMR

After months of anticipation, DeKalb Women’s Specialists has implemented electronic medical records (EMR) in both locations.

EMR is the wave of the future, as paper charts will no longer be used, and providers and supporting staff members will be able to access patient information quickly and efficiently. Patients will also see more timely feedback regarding test results, as EMR automates automates the processing of lab information. EMR will also enable the practice to mass distribute vital information to patients through the use of e-mail.
