The EHR allows our primary care and specialty providers to immediately access vital information regarding your medical care.
Improving Healthcare through Technology
Community Care Physicians, PC is devoted to designing and implementing advanced information systems to improve, simplify and reduce the cost of our health care delivery procedures. Community Care has implemented information systems such as the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system to support primary care and specialty practices.
The EHR assists physicians in collecting, evaluating and documenting information regarding medical care using a computer, allowing providers to share information in real time with the highest level of confidentiality.
Immediate Access to Critical Information
As a multispecialty group, the EHR allows our primary care and specialty providers to immediately access vital information regarding your medical care. The shared EHR network allows providers to access imaging reports, consults, and referrals whenever needed, enabling a more efficient medical organization.
Electronic Prescriptions Mean Less Waiting
Furthermore, the Community Care organization is connected with the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange (Surescripts) which facilitates the electronic transmission of prescription information between physicians and pharmacies. This e-prescribing tool allows physicians to prescribe medications and fax them directly to the pharmacy of choice via a computer, so that the prescription is ready when you get there.
Improved Accuracy and Safety
Using an electronic system also helps eliminate the risk of misinterpretation that may result from illegible handwriting. It also features drug interaction and allergy checking to alert clinicians if a medication they are prescribing could cause a problem. The entire process is faster than using a script pad and reduces the need for pharmacy call backs, saving time for physicians and their patients.
Allscripts Official Reference Site & Best Practice User
Allscripts, the nation’s leading provider of clinical software, connectivity and information solutions, has named Community Care Physicians, PC an official reference site and “best practice” user of the Touchworks Electronic Health Record (EHR). As such, Community Care serves as a demonstration site for practices who are considering adoption of an EHR. This system enables Community Care Physicians to continually enhance healthcare quality in the Capital Region.
