This made up story helps you understand that emr software or practice management software is slowly being set up in the health care industry. The healthcare industry has been slow to implement the software and surprisingly only about 10% of medical practices use it. Here I will show you how Derek was helped with emr software when he visited his local hospital. Derek was a lovable 3 year old that liked his older brother Joe. His mom and dad got Derek a bike for his birthday because he had been begging them for one ever since he saw how much fun his brother was having with his. Derek never liked to stop riding his bike. His parents were worried that one day he might hurt himself because he rode it so much. One weekend Grandma and Grandpa came to watch Joe and Derek while their mom and dad went away for a conference. While their Grandparents were there Derek and Joe decided to have a race to show off for Grandma and Grandpa. Derek rode around a corner too fast and crashed on his bike. Derek cried and cried and told his Grandparents that his arm hurt where he landed on it. Derek's Grandma and Grandpa decided to take him to the emergency room at their local hospital. As they entered the hospital Derek got really scared because it was really big. He was also cheerless because he loved riding his bike and on the way into the emergency room his older brother had told him that if he broke his leg he couldn't ride his bike ever again. Doctor Bill overheard Joe telling Derek about not being able to ride his bike and knew that this was a patient for him because he remembered having an older brother just like Joe. Doctor bill was a very nice doctor and very thorough. He always checked his patients records before he worked on them. The hospital recently had electronic medical record software installed. With this new emr software it only took him a few minutes to check Derek's electronic medical record and realize that his patient was very allergic to Latex. Doctor Bill quickly checked on Derek to make sure that none of the nurses were using latex gloves. The Doctor could also see how upset Derek was so he told him not to worry. He told Derek that he had broke his leg that Derek could pick out the color of his cast. After Dr. Bill was done working on his leg, he put on the blue cast the Derek wanted. The Doctor also reassured Derek that he would be able to ride his bike again no matter what his brother had told him. The nurse let Derek's family know that they needed to go back to the doctor's office in a month and a week. The receptionist at the hospital used the hospital's practice management software to make an appointment for Derek. Derek wanted to get home to make sure his bike was still good, but his grandparents wanted to buy him a toy so they stopped at the dollar store on the way home and let him pick out any toy he wanted. After the 5 weeks were up Derek and his family rode back to the hospital where Dr. Bill took his cast off. Derek was happy to hear that his leg was as good as new. Derek was so happy to get his cast off because he could ride his bike again and show his brother that he was wrong. His parents were so happy that their doctor had electronic medical records software installed because his grandparents had no idea and wouldn't have been able to tell the hospital. They made sure from then on to let everyone know about Derek's allergy, but didn't have to worry about their hospital because it was kept in a place that his doctor could easily find in a matter of seconds.
