Arthritis Specialists, Ltd. Selects Benchmark for Electronic Medical Record Solution

May 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Benchmark Systems, a leading EMR (Electronic Medical Record) and PMS (Practice Management System) vendor, announced today that Arthritis Specialists, Ltd. has chosen its leading edge EMR solution to automate all of the clinical functions of their practice. Patient and practice data will be stored digitally on the largest secure database facility in the U.S. and physicians will have one-click access to all of their charts in one place. The practice will also connect to labs, pharmacies and referring doctors in real-time, accelerating patient care while streamlining information exchange.

“We have had a great partnership with Arthritis Specialists, Ltd. for many years now and we are delighted to support them in automating the clinical functions of their multi-site practice,” said Ernie Chastain, Vice President of Business Development at Benchmark Systems. “This specialty EMR solution eliminates the cumbersome task of sifting through unnecessary information found in some generic systems, saving the doctors time and money,” said Chastain.

Arthritis Specialists currently utilizes Benchmark’s Advanced Scheduler and now, with the addition of an internal messaging system, the entire practice will be connected to alert physicians and staff of important patient information. A patient portal will extend this same web-based convenience to the staff and patients, providing access to personal health information, lab results and prescription refill requests online.
