Urologists have many of the same requirements as other EMR buyers, but there is an long list of urology-specific requirements that must be met as well. Examples of urology-specific templates and requirements include:

• history of previous prostate, bladder and renal biopsies;
• common condition templates (e.g. tehematuria, BPH, prostate cancer, UTI);
• common procedure templates (e.g. IVP, ultrasound, TUMT, Indigo, cytoscopy);
• erectile dysfunction drug complications, contraindications and instructions;
• HL7 integration to ultrasound systems and other testing devices; and,
• E&M coding and assistance to document common urology encounters.

You can find these capabilities in urology-specific EMRs and cross-specialty EMRs that have well-developed urology templates. In addition to specialty-specific requirements, Urologists will make ample use of a number of capabilities found in leading EMR software packages, such as:

• web-based access in the hospital or at home (or vacation home?);
• secure integration to share patient data with hospitals;
• Integration to widely adopted practice management systems; and,
• bi-directional lab integration to order and report on laboratory requests.
