This solution can be customized to accomodate the needs of the clinical staff that need to dictate. The EMR can be, independently, configured to accomodate the needs of the staff. Using this approach, practices can build a bridge between current work styles and new computerized work methods. Physicians can dictate their notes and find the end product added directly to the EMR. The practice can realize the benefit of instant availability when the transcription is complete.

Deployment of this approach provides the physicians with a hand held digital recorder. The physician periodically trades his/her memory card in for a new one. The staff member can then sync the dictation with the dictation system. The dictation system then routes the audio files to the appropriate transcriptionist, who enters the information into the EMR.

This unique application approach helps the practice move forward to the world of electronic records, while providing the fewest disruptions to the office staff.

MD-Journal application provides the ability to restrict access to patient information. Each healthcare professional has a separate user account. The account profile defines which portions of the patient profile can be viewed or updated. Each practice designates practice administrator who is responsible for controlling access within the practice.
