This option is a partial implementation of the EMR, focusing on prescription writing and medication management. The cost of implementing the prescription module is much lower than a full EMR and it allows the providers to adjust to the task of electronic prescription writing. In addition, an office performing this task within the context of an incrementally implemented electronic medical record is building a foundation for the complete EMR.
A clinical repository provides universal and simultaneous access to charts from any workstation without implementing a full EMR. The repository option allows storage of charts on a network of workstations giving providers and staff online access to progress notes and other transcribed data from any workstation. This results in
fewer chart pulls, higher staff efficiency and access to the electronic charts from home or off-site. In addition, a solid foundation of clinical data is being created to facilitate a smooth transition to a full EMR when that time comes.
