Ambulatory Surgery Center EMR Software

Fully Certified Ambulatory Surgery Center EHR Software & Facility Management Software

Electronic medical record systems are quickly becoming the norm for clinical documentation. As a result, we have customized our EMR systems to fit all types of medical specialties and healthcare organizations’ unique needs. To meet the requirements of ambulatory surgery centers, 1st Providers Choice has designed an EHR that is tailored to ASC. Our user-friendly, customizable software, and designed for improved care coordination with other facilities, physicians, and labs. 

We understand that physicians at ambulatory surgery centers perform more intensive medical treatments and procedures than at a traditional doctor’s office and that workflow and record-keeping requirements are very different. That’s why we make it easy for healthcare professionals to focus on the three levels of care:

• Pre-operative
• Intra-operative
• Post-operative

We do this by providing ASC-specific templates, forms, and built-in ICD and CPT codes. Our EMR also includes important features such as adverse event reporting, patient flow management, e-prescribing, document management, and patient education.

1st Providers Choice’s Ambulatory Surgery Center EMR features powerful clinical and administrative capabilities that allow healthcare professionals to improve workflow processes all along the care delivery chain. Our clients can reduce costs, improve quality of care, and share patient health information easily from one care setting to another.
