Podiatry EMR Software

Podiatry EMR software is designed to make running your practice easier and more efficient through the help of specialty-specific forms, templates, terminology, and codes. Implementing EMR software in your practice will reduce data entry and improve workflow, as you will be able to find patient information in one centralized location. In addition, by moving away from paper charts, you can schedule appointments more efficiently, send prescriptions electronically, and spend more time with patients and less time filling out paperwork.

Clinical Documentation

Specialty-specific forms, documents, and customized letters help make charting easier and allow doctors to focus on patient care.

• Abscess
• Achilles Tendonititis
• Achilles Tendon Rupture
• Ankle Sprain

• Bone Spur Heel

Meaningful Use

Since podiatrists are eligible for ARRA incentives and many choose to participate in the Meaningful Use program, it is important to have tools to help providers track their reporting progress. Because of this, many EMRs include a Meaningful Use Reporting Dashboard. By using this tool, providers are able to view percentages of compliancy, as well as which patients they have achieved meaningful use with and which ones they have not.
