Computerized Patient Records

The Computerized Patient Record is an online advancement at Elkhart General. By computerizing the patient record, physicians obtain critical patient information more quickly and can retrieve post-discharge charts online, thus saving valuable time in the chart-completion process. Using their own PIN number, physicians can even sign records electronically. Speech Recognition Systems are being adopted for improved efficiency in transcribing reports.

Clinical applications include web-based access to patient information for physicians via wireless devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and cell phones. Particular emphasis is placed on technology that enhances medication management at every step of the process—prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, administering and monitoring.
