Facilitating Knowledge Sharing among Physicians
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the healthcare IT market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Infor-Med, Inc. with the 2008 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation for its novel Praxis(R) Electronic Medical Records (EMR) version 4, featuring the Praxis(R) EMR Knowledge Exchanger.
The Praxis(R) EMR system employs a unique technology that does not include inherently limiting templates, so it provides enhanced documentation and legal protection of a patient's medical history because the physician enters the data and all instructions in his/her own words.

They limit the healthcare provider to the topics and choices provided by the software to describe symptoms and treatments, whereas the no-template choice offers the physician total control over the document and the way the information is presented.
The Praxis(R) EMR has an edge over template programming because its
Concept Processing technology is dynamic and develops naturally, whereas
template programming is static and inherently limiting. Although templates
do allow for quick and easy documentation, they restrict the physician from
expressing the details that will maintain the integrity of the physician's
interaction with each patient. Infor-Med's Praxis(R) EMR is a unique
template-free solution that eliminates the restrictions of templates while
matching their ease and speed of use. The Praxis(R) version 4 Knowledge
