nearby hospital with electronic
documentation, but she admits to
having reservations.
"I had worked in several multi-
specialty centers that did not
have EMRs," she says. "But I've
absolutely changed my thinking
and now love documenting cases
on the system."
Her EMR's reporting tools
"make us think about what we
could do to improve all aspects
of our center," says Ms. Booth.
"There's so many of them. We've
only scratched the surface."
Like most EMRs, Ms. Booth's
system is programmed so staff
must fill certain fields before
they can progress through the
file, so easily overlooked fields
such as patients' arrival times are
always documented. That
ensures Ms. Booth is analyzing
complete data when using the
system to assess the facility's
clinical and business perform-
ances.
