Electronic Medical Records (EMR)

This article is written by Hannes Erasmus, Healthcare Technology Content Specialist

The key to a successful and well-run medical practice is efficient and effective patient care. Medical practices are moving away from paper files and moving towards electronic records and patient portals. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software is a digital file cabinet for patient files – storing medical history, scripts, medications, lab results, treatment plans and patient billing information.

Implementing an EMR increases medical practices’ productivity and the quality of medical care given to patients.

The myGrandCentral app and website is a patient portal that connects doctors and patients, which gives doctors access to their patients’ health records on approval by the patient.  All medical information, personal clinical history and doctor’s visit records in one place.

This improves patient care by a reduction in medication errors and duplicates or unnecessary pathology tests.
