Encounters will now be accurately documented at the point of care and stored electronically via HIPAA encrypted technology. Physicians will have 24/7 remote access to important patient and practice data. Patients and staff will also benefit from this web-based solution. An internal messaging system will connect the entire practice and alert staff of important patient information. A patient portal will give patients the convenience to request or change appointments, check lab results, and request prescription refills, all from the comfort of their home.
“Benchmark Clinical EHR connects pharmacies, medical equipment, labs, other physicians, hospitals, insurers and patients in real time, improving the continuity of care in local communities and worldwide,” said Beth Koss, President of Benchmark Systems. “Benchmark Systems will support this practice at the highest level, and looks forward to automating additional healthcare providers in Virginia.”
