Speed
When designing Drs®, our programmers focused on workflow efficiency. Patient charts open up almost instantly, and searching for those charts is just as quick. Our new narrative writer with built-in “clicktation” support and intelligent macros, allow forms to be filled out in a fraction of the time they would take on paper. The customizable report writer, included for free with every copy of Drs®, has been designed to be one of the fastest and most flexible report writers around. Whether they’re taking vitals, examining a patient, prescribing medicine, or ordering reports, Drs® keeps doctors working at their most efficient pace. We have a motto that we use when designing Drs® – “If it isn’t easy, doctors and staff can’t use it, BUT if it isn’t fast, doctors and staff WON’T use it.”
Flexibility
We realized early on that it would be better for a practice if our EHR could fit your office, rather than your office fitting into our EHR. Most EHRs have preset templates that are difficult to customize. That’s because they are programmed into the software instead of being editable documents. Some EHRs may offer to design custom templates if you have a large enough practice, but the costs are often extremely prohibitive. With Drs®, creating your own custom templates is straightforward and manageable. In fact one of our easy style templates allows you to scan in your old forms as templates. These can be easily written on using a tablet PC just as if they were paper. Other kinds of templates use the easiest and most flexible template designer available on any computer – a word processor. Using word processing tools, you can design forms, that in only a few hours can create professional documents which will automatically populate discrete patient data. Most of our competitors claim that they were built for various specialties. Drs® doesn’t need to have specialty versions because Drs® is always your version, no matter what specialty you practice.
Security
As a certified EHR, Drs® is designed to be a secure system that offers not only standard security such as 128-bit (HIPAA standard) encryption for all documents, but also added features such as password protocols, automatic logoffs, and emergency access. For example, Drs® can force users to change passwords at regular intervals and can prevent “unsafe” passwords. If a user is inactive for aperiod of time, Drs® can automatically log out to prevent unauthorized access and also has an emergency patient safety protocol called “break glass.” Break glass allows registered users, in an emergency, to view patient folders and documents which they are not normally authorized to view. This access is broadcast to other users on the system. The patients accessed by the person who broke the glass are logged and reviewable by the supervisor. Fully certified and HIPAA compliant, Drs® will keep your practice safe and protected.
HL7 Lab Interface
When viewing lab results, most EHRs display them in a “report” style view. Drs® goes further in presenting data-based lab results in an easy-to-read style. Not only does Drs® have a “report” style presentation, but Drs® also creates a document view of each lab result that looks like the original paper document. This makes it easier for the doctor to interpret the lab results and allows the lab results to be printed or faxed in an easy-to-read view as well.QR Codes For Scanning
How much time does the staff spend on scanning pages into the EHR? This module has many features to enhance the efficiency of medical practices. Templates can now print directly to paper with QR codes embedded. When a document or template is printed, a small QR code is printed in the corner of each page of the form. After the form has been completed by the patient, the provider, or the office staff, the batch of documents for the entire day can be placed in the scanner. The documents will automatically scan into the correct patient in the correct folder with no user intervention needed.
Integrated Fax
This feature streamlines the management of faxes. Even the smallest practices send and receive thousands of faxes per month. This fully integrated fax system saves time and makes your staff more efficient.
2FA And Smart Cards
Using a smart card with Drs Enterprise makes it super-fast, easy and secure to log in. For example, when a provider or user moves from exam room to exam room, a simple touch of the card will securely log in the user. Another new feature, known as 2FA (two-factor authentication), will enhance the security when logging into Drs. 2FA will require either a smart card or a cell phone to authenticate the user as they log in. There are three modes for using the 2FA: off, on for everyone, or on for everyone except smart card users.
Telemedicine
Drs has an integrated telemedicine ability. It is full-featured, HIPAA compliant, and one of the least expensive telemedicine offerings in the market.
Charge Capture
This module allows the clinical staff to be able to have the charges and problems that have been posted in a visit automatically exported to their billing systems. This can drastically reduce the data entry time for posting charges.
Instant Messaging
This feature allows users to instantly and securely text each other for quick communications. This was introduced during the first part of Covid as a way to better interact with all users - whether they are working in the office or at home.
