OmniMD chooses the MEDCIN® Terminology Engine for its Specialty EMR

OmniMD, a leading developer of HIPAA-compliant healthcare solutions, has announced the availability of MEDCIN® clinical engine in its Specialty Electronic Medical Records (EMR) product. MEDCIN® includes more than 270,000 clinical data elements covering symptoms, history, physical examination, tests, diagnoses and therapy. MEDCIN® has evolved over 26 years, in collaboration with physicians on staff from Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins and other medical centers.

Driven by MEDCIN®, OmniMD’s Specialty EMR offers a core tool allowing healthcare providers to create and maintain electronic documentation of each patient encounter. Physicians can record patient data using an easy and intuitive point-and-click system to create a well-structured and comprehensive medical record. Users also have the flexibility to include their own custom data sets and templates into the point-and-click system.

 Point-and-click EMR reduces documentation time by over 60%. Patient encounter documentation at the point of care eliminates delays due to manual documentation and medical errors due to illegible notes. A single-click search allows instant retrieval of electronic patient charts, encounter notes, patient vitals, history, review of systems, procedure notes and medical assessments and plans. Easy data capture and reporting helps the physician make informed medical decisions and creates data that can be used to generate clinically useful reports, for example: health maintenance reminders and disease management.

“Working in a high-pressure environment, it is often possible to overlook minute details in patient documentation. MEDCIN’s extensive clinical knowledge engine augments the capability of our EMR to capture and record even the most subtle medical details in the patient chart at the point of care itself. A point-and-click system ensures documentation of the highest standard, supporting the physician in medical decision-making and better coding.” says Mr. Divan Da’ve, CEO of OmniMD.

OmniMD EMR covers specialty specific and custom point-and-click templates for numerous specialties including Cardiology, Dermatology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Neurology and OB/GYN, to name a few. In addition to MEDCIN®, OmniMD has also added Online Insurance Eligibility, Patient Reminder, and Integrated Medical Billing in its new release.
