Atlanta Women's Specialists Raises the Bar in Patient Care With Online Medical Records and an Electronic Medical Records System

Date:8/13/2009

scripts Professional™ EHR, a fully functioning electronic health record (EHR) system. In addition to reducing paper, the EHR system allows doctors access to patients’ records while on call, from satellite offices or the hospital—something physicians were previously unable to do with paper charts.

According to a 2008 survey of doctors by the New England Journal of Medicine, only 4% of all physicians have a fully functioning EHR system, which makes Atlanta Women’s Specialists an early adopter of this useful technology. In the study, 83% of the doctors using EHR systems report that the systems improve clinical care; 86% say it has helped avoid medication errors.

And I still can’t believe I can e-mail my doctor directly. It’s perfect for the silly questions I have but don’t want to call and bother my doctor.”
