Electronic Medical Records
An Electronic Patient Record is created for each patient registered within the system, and creates the basis for all patient-related data.
Patients are entered as individuals and can be linked to a company, for example an insurance company, employment company or legal firm. They can then be searched using a wide range of search parameters, for example by name, date of birth, company etc.
Subsequently, patient details can be viewed and modified throughout the database by Authorised Users.
Medical details are stored for each patient and can be input in numeric or text format. All details are coded using our clinical coding system (for more details please see: Optional Features>Clinical Coding). These details include current and historic medication, allergies, vaccination history, examinations, tests and consultation attendances together with treatment history and surgical procedures.
Numeric fields such as height, weight, glucose etc. can be displayed in a report or graphed over a period of time. Results, such as BMI, can be calculated automatically and can also be displayed in a report or graphed over a period of time.
Additional bespoke fields not listed on the default Med+DBase medical details page can also be added in either format.
Patient history is available for administration purposes, and can be accessed through the patient record with details of attendance and outstanding bills.
Doctors can access the history of a patient's medical record and view past appointments and consultations, along with additional family history and social notes.
Aspects of the patient record can be restricted for access using our role-based security module if required. For further information about role-based security see Security > Role-Based Security.
