Unlike other medical specialties, there is no one specific area treated by a Rheumatologist.

Touching on so many areas including joints, muscles and bones, an EHR needs to be versatile enough to handle the wide ranging needs of Rheumatology, a few of which include:

The MedicsDocAssistant EHR from Advanced Data Systems (ADS) is one system that is excellent for Rheumatology, Rheumatology procedures, and all of the areas needed by the Rheumatologist in providing patient care and treatment.

The system is versatile enough, with Rheumatology-specific templates and content, to handle Rheumatology encounters quickly and efficiently.

The Rheumatologist can quickly invoke “favorites” depending on the patient’s medical condition, process the encounter, store the data, order labs, and transmit prescriptions electronically. MedicsDocAssistant can handle Rheumatology-related E / M coding helping to prevent over-coding and under-coding.

Images can be stored on the patient’s record for quick recall, with handwriting recognition enabling notations directly onto the images. The handwriting recognition capability can be used to input notes on the patient’s record, and voice dictation is also available, eliminating costly and time consuming outside transcription.

As an option, MedicsPortal is available for Rheumatology practices interested in connecting themselves with their patients, and vice versa. MedicsPortal gives patients the ability to do much of their own work themselves, 24x7x365 using secure internet connectivity.

From scheduling appointments to reviewing medical or financial data, to completing forms and questionnaires online, to messaging and more, MedicsPortal is a dynamic patient-empowering tool that will streamline workflow and create efficiencies.
