Maximize Your Multitasking
A tried-and-true medical records software program is about to get an upgrade.
Charting Plus will be upgraded and renamed MediNotes e. The upgraded product offers a multitasking shell that can simultaneously display the practice view, a patient view for several patients, an active note window and document view, according to the manufacturer MediNotes Corp.
The company says program users can go back and forth between patients or tasks without having to navigate in a separate area of the program. This will save valuable time and can allow DPMs unrestricted access to clinical information, according to the company.
MediNotes says the product’s patient tracking feature enables staff to monitor which patients have checked in, how long they have waited and what room they have been assigned to. MediNotes adds that the program has “work lists” to streamline the workflow when multiple clinicians are involved.
MediNotes e also has a MediNotes Rx system for electronic prescribing and for checking drug interactions and formularies, according to the manufacturer.
