OB/GYN EMR Software Buyer’s Guide

Obstetricians, gynecologists and other women’s health professionals have unique EMR software requirements, which is why they should take a hard look at EMRs designed specifically for their specialty or those well-established systems that have OB/GYN-specific templates. Examples of OB/GYN-specific requirements include:

  • ante partum and post partum modules for pregnancies;
  • flow sheets and graphing to track the progress of mother and baby over time;
  • reporting that will support standard ACOG forms and reports;
  • HL7 integration to ultrasound systems and other testing devices;
  • RhoGAM alerts for Rh negative patients; and,
  • well-developed patient education content to support newly expecting mothers.

We recommend the following systems that serve OB/GYN physicians and have good references in the specialty.

AdvantaChart is a powerful EMR software application that is specialty-specific for OB/GYN and also offers primary care capabilities for internal medicine.

  • web-based access to the EMR while on rounds at the hospital;
  • hospital integration to share patient data with the health system;
  • primary care workflows, since gynecologists sometimes act as a GP for women; and,
  • laboratory integration to manage a wide range of lab requests.
