Try our new Electronic Preoperative Documentation Service Risk-Free for 30 days: get free use of a 2 oz. Digital Handheld Recorder, Free ZipDoc one-touch transmission software, AND the Unique Automated Patient History module! Try it out with one physician; you pay only a low per-line charge for transcribing the dictated portion of the notes, and a small monthly fee ($49) for the patient history system, if you choose to keep that module. Dictation can also be done through a telephone instead of the voice recorder if you choose.

Instant Medical History™, the automated patient history system, allows the patient to answer a thorough history questionnaire (yes/no/sometimes format) by way of a touchscreen kiosk in the facility/office. The patient's responses are translated into a full, HCFA-formatted History portion of the H&P or note. The chief complaint, HPI, complete review of systems, family, social history and allergies are all fully documented before the physician begins dictating.

Documentation is more complete than Physician interviews alone, allowing for appropriate coding/billing. With the Spanish Language Module, patients can complete the questionnaire in Spanish and the Doctor gets a full patient History automatically translated in English.

So try preopCHART today: your patients will appreciate the added service, your physicians will thank you (or at least get those H&Ps done), and the administrator responsible for medical records audits will thank you.
