Improving Clinical Efficiencies & Outcomes in the EMR

• This session is intended to provide information on the host of integrated MicroMD eServices that can assist practices in boosting their clinical efficiencies and outcomes in the EMR.

• Our goal in this session is to offer ideas to help providers focus on the reasons they got into medicine in the first place…..to heal patients.

Why does MicroMD have eSERVICES?

Allow providers to focus on patient care and improve clinical outcomes

• Improve communication with the patient for better treatment acceptance• Improve communication/coordination with other providers for better

patient outcomes• Allow the provider to spend more time listening and understanding the

patient – less time on typing• Automates control substance prescription process, decreasing the risk

associated with prescription pads in the office• Decreases paper and printing costs, decreases the need to order office

supplies as frequently, makes processes quicker/faster for fax documentations

EPCS –Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances

EPCS Gold allows prescribers to…

• Electronically prescribe all medications in your MicroMD eRx workflow. MicroMD EPCS Gold enables prescribers to legally write prescriptions for Schedule II through V drugs to retail or mail order pharmacies electronically, easily and seamlessly within their normal MicroMD eRx workflow.

• EPCS will help prescribers reduce drug abuse, drug diversion and “doctor shopping.” This makes prescribing more cost-effective, efficient and safe, as well as advances patient medication adherence, increases convenience for your patients, minimizes DEA number exposure, and reduces potential prescription errors.
