Ingenix CareTracker EMR offers a powerful practice management and electronic medical record solution that manages patient data, automates clinical workflows and improves revenue cycles. As a fully integrated solution that supports both the clinical and administrative sides of your practice, CareTracker EMR strengthens the patient-physician relationship and simplifies your experience with pharmacies, labs, hospitals, and payers.
Schedule: Receptionist Working in tandem with your practice management system, CareTracker EMR lets your administrative staff manage appointments along with registration, eligibility verification, check-in, and co-pay capture, directly from the schedule.
Clinical Workflow: Medical Assistant From the moment your patients walk through the door of your practice, your staff knows they have arrived and how long they’ve been waiting. Then, from a single application, your medical assistant can effortlessly take control of a patient’s clinical workflow.
As the patient is taken to an exam room, CareTracker EMR offers the option of receiving alerts that automatically inform your medical assistant of allergies, diagnostic tests or follow-up visits that are required to properly manage the patient’s condition.
Because the patient chart is automatically pulled at the beginning of the patient interaction, the medical assistant is able to review medications, order preliminary tests, and record vital signs with ease and efficiency.
Clinical Workflow: Doctor CareTracker EMR helps you provide the best possible care by connecting your physicians to the information they need without wasting valuable time. For example, physicians can maximize the time they spend between appointments by attending to Quick Tasks such as reviewing and signing their patients’ lab results or approving medication refill requests, right from the desktop.
Before a patient visit begins, the physician can review the chart summary and quickly navigate through the patient’s complete clinical information, including problems, allergies, vital signs, a list of past encounters, active medications, immunization history, progress notes, and any other documents on file for the patient.
The physician also has access to a wealth of patient information, such as personal data, how to contact the primary care physician, clinical alerts, and preventive tests that are due. Additionally, this flexible application allows physicians to filter patient information the way they want to see it and to include only the most useful range of historical data.
CareTracker EMR also keeps active patient medications, as well as all medication refill dates, readily accessible in a single click.
To compare historical measurements, such as the patient’s vital signs over a chosen period, the physician simply selects the categories he wants to examine. CareTracker EMR instantly generates a color-coded graph that clearly displays important trends for further analysis.
Whether a physician prefers to prepare for a visit by brushing up on the patient’s prior progress notes, or he wants to view a particular document attached to the patient’s record, CareTracker EMR’s highly functional and user-friendly tools give immediate access to the desired information.
For improved quality and enhanced auditability that other applications simply cannot match, CareTracker EMR enables physicians to create a flowsheet of any measurements that are recorded in your system.
Progress Notes Once the office visit is complete, documenting it takes just a few minutes. Specialty and disease specific Progress Note templates are populated with targeted information pulled from throughout the system.
Housing and keeping track of patient’s clinical data can be a time-consuming endeavor. But with CareTracker EMR, the clutter is removed from your practice’s operations by putting the power to update crucial patient data right at your staff’s fingertips.
For instance, as the physician creates his Progress Notes, handy tabs organize key areas of his report and allow him to quickly document the patient’s chief complaint, HPI, medical history, family & social history, review of systems, and vital signs.
CareTracker EMR’s strength is its flexibility in accommodating any practice workflow. That’s why it’s designed to give physicians the option to use as little or as much structure and decision support as they desire, with options for voice, point and click, and Quick Text in creating clinical notes.
From scheduling through completion of the doctor’s Impression and Plan Progress Notes, CareTracker allows your providers to transition to an EMR without working more hours or sacrificing revenue.
