Electronic Patient Record Project Increases Clinic Efficiency (106 words)
HSC-BCD recently implemented its Electronic Patient Record Project to streamline patient records and radiography. Phase one of the project included converting radiographs to a digital format and installing computers in each operatory. In the past, computers were located at strategic locations in clinic and student-use areas. Clinicians are now able to serve patients more efficiently with nearly immediate access to radiographic images. Phase two of the project consists of replacing current patient charts with fully electronic files. Upon completion of the transition, all patient records will be in electronic format and little to no paper will be used in the treatment of patients at the college.
