First Pediatrics Celebrates Its Six Month Anniversary
Time
flies. It feels like yesterday that we first opened our doors to the
community. To date we feel we have delivered all we aimed to, but will
continue to attempt to improve our level of service. Our transition to
the world of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is nearly complete. We
are implementing some of the final phases of the transition over the
next few weeks. We hope that much of this transition will not be noted
by the patients and their families, but will be enabling our staff to
communicate better with each other during visits. For example, the
doctors will be able to advise the medical assistants as to which
vaccines will be required so that they can be working on preparation
without the doctor having to interrupt the visit by leaving the room.
One feature of the final phase that will be quite visible regards our
Patient Portal. Connexin Software, the software developer of our EMR,
is hoping to have to Portal completed by May. It will enable parents to
log into their children's accounts to access information, and make
various requests.
