Urology EMR Software

Urologists need a software solution that supports them in treating their patients in a discreet, respectful manner, while maintaining all the functionality of generic and specialty electronic medical record (EMR) / electronic health record (EHR) solutions. These features include:

Urology SOAP notes templates	Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, urology EMRs have dozens of customized templates for every condition imaginable, including: cystoscopy, hematuria, incontinence, infertility, prostate screening and/or cancer, sexual dysfunction, UTI, and vasectomy. These templates can often be customized, but most physicians prefer simply taking advantage of the ample pre-existing templates already at their disposal.
Urology-specific medication management	Your urology workflow solution can suggest medications, and can help prevent errors by alerting the physician if he or she tries to prescribe a dangerous or ineffective dosage, or urispas instead of urocit for a patient with kidney stones. These alerts are customizable to the needs of the physician.
Urology-specific coding & billing	Urology-specific EMRs use the unique vocabulary of urologists, incorporating the terminology into the software. They provide more assistance on ICD9 and CPT coding & billing for common urology encounters, while avoiding the clutter of thousands of codes unrelated to your practice. Since these systems tie into the administrative and clinical workflow, they also know what procedures have been performed and which treatments prescribed, making the claim process faster and more accurate.
Integration with lab and pathology reports	Automatically receive results of electronic urinalyses, kidney MRIs, or other medical tests. Before buying your solution, make sure it will be compatible with all your urology reports and devices.

In addition to these features, a a strong management system will support medical billing and scheduling and improve office workflows, efficiency, and patient correspondence.
