Upon arrival, if you don’t have to wait for your paper chart to be pulled, reviewed, and insurance verified in addition to other pieces of information, you get seated in a room quickly, your Doctor probably has EMR.

If the doctor comes in during, or quickly after your vitals have been taken, and doesn’t have to stand outside the door reading your paper chart, you Doctor probably has EMR.

If your Doctor seems happy and not irritated, this means his malpractice insurance was just lowered because he probably has EMR.

If your Doctor is carrying around a really cool tablet PC with a stylus, and not a bulky colored file, this means your Doctor probably has EMR.

If the prescriptions your doctor recommends you take are actually covered by your insurance and you don’t have to go online to a Canadian or Indian pharmacy to get the cheapest price, your Doctor probably has an EMR system.

If your prescription is automatically transmitted to your pharmacy without having to carry around a piece of paper no-one can ready anyways, your Doctor probably has EMR.

If the medical clinic looks nicer, maybe a fish tank, some new pictures or even a designer coffee maker in the corner, this means your doctor has increased his or her revenue, most likely the result of using an EMR solution.

If you have to see a referring doctor, or go in for some lab work, radiology or other place of practice, and YOU don’t have to make the appointment, YOU don’t have to re-explain your symptoms, and YOU don’t have to re-fill out all the other practices insurance forms, yep, you guessed it, both doctors are probably running an EMR.

If you can review your lab results online, in the privacy of your home, send messages or questions to your Doctor without having to pay another copay just to be told the test came out negative, your Doctor is probably running an EMR solution.

If you receive a bill for the amount you expect to pay, this means your Doctor has probably sent the correct E&M codes, and the insurance companies have processed payment to your Doctor faster, so you in-turn are not miss-billed. This means your Doctor is most likely using an EMR system.

If you see your Doctor taking into his or her tablet PC, this means they are capturing real-time data, without having to pay costly transcription fees, and yes, your Doctor as adopted an EMR solution.

If you see your Doctor leaving the office on-time, every day, having the time to spend with their families and friends, meeting other Doctors for drinks or going to the gym, this means their time has been freed up from paper related tasks, transcription tasks, follow-up tasks because information is passed electronically, they probably have an EMR solution.

While some of these things may seem trivial, this is the patient’s reality. EMR solutions enable medical offices and medical clinics to provide better patient care, bottom line. Physicians make more money from higher E&M coding coupled with the ability to do more quicker. Medical practices are able to reduce their malpractice insurance, and costly paper costs are a thing of the past.

EMR is a win/win situation for patients and physicians.
