ChartAnywhere

The electronic medical record healthcare revolution has started, and ChartAnywhere is the launch pad. Having an EMR is only half the battle, When you have to deal with other physicians and external medical records everything gets reduced to paper somehow. That is until now.

Introducing ChartAnywhere
How many times have you had to fax a medical record out to a practice regarding a patient, or even worse, mail the records and include X-Rays and even a CD of the imaging from the patient? Waiting for mail, lost faxes in addition to the time and effort it takes to do these tasks is expensive and costs valuable time. Even if you have an EMR, odds are that you are going to receive paper records that need to be scanned in to the chart, or CD's/DVD's of DICOM information that will need to be put into your EMR. The need to share information is never going to change, but the way you do it just has - it's called ChartAnywhere and it's only available with Life Record.

Sharing Patient Information With Other Doctors Has Never Been Easier
If you are a primary care physician and you need to refer one of your patients to a specialist, chances are that you fire up the fax machine, get out the big yellow envelopes, tell your receptionist to start faxing what she can, and mail the rest. With ChartAnywhere, you simply click a button in the patient record. A 20 digit code is instantly generated that you give to the physician you are referring your patient to. Instantly and easily the physician receiving the referral can view your patient's medical record including notes, labs, imaging (X-Ray, DICOM, Echo), view prescriptions, active medication and the entire medical chart. No more faxing, no more worry about putting the wrong documents in the wrong envelope.
