Integrated Acute Care EMR software for acute care settings
Acute care providers must deliver short-term care to patients who are recovering from an injury, surgery, medical condition or illness. Although treatment times are typically short, advanced EMR software is required in order to effectively track a patient’s health status as he or she moves from an inpatient setting to outpatient treatment. 1st Providers Choice’s Acute Care EMR software is a comprehensive electronic health record solution designed specifically for this reason.
Our Practice Management and Patient Portal integrated Acute Care EMR software is intuitive, highly customizable and backed by a team of expert trainers and technicians. It is also ICD-10 ready and fully certified for Meaningful Use.
We are committed to providing clients with the latest technologies for electronically storing, capturing and accessing patient health information, and for improving patient care. IMS for Acute Care is optimized for mobile devices and offers providers a wide range of customizable features. Using our software, providers and staff can:
- Securely access patient information from an iPad, iPhone or other handheld device.
- Improve workflow by accessing data from wherever is most convenient.
- Have better interactions with patients by using advanced dictation technology that makes documenting encounters easy.
- Make informed decisions in real-time by quickly viewing visit notes, test results and more.
