MicroMD EMR’s open-architecture design allows integration and interoperability with a wide variety of third-party systems. Through the HL7 standard, XML specification, and Internet protocols, MicroMD EMR exchanges bi-directional information, giving providers vital access to the data they need at the point of care.
MicroMD EMR will import demographic data including patient and insurance information, as well as appointments and referrals. Once the patient is entered into MicroMD PM, all the relevant data will be immediately available in the EMR. Following an encounter with the patient, MicroMD EMR will send the billing information back to MicroMD PM for processing.
MicroMD EMR is a robust system that connects with numerous medical devices. This enables providers to improve efficiency and reduce errors, resulting in improved patient care. To learn more, click here.
MicroMD EMR can send electronic lab orders and receive the electronic results, alerting the provider of the available information for review. MicroMD EMR interfaces with a variety of national and regional clinical laboratory service providers, and is constantly adding additional laboratory systems. Current partners include: LabCorp, Quest, Ameripath, Bio-Reference, Fletcher-Flora (LabPak, FFlex), Hex, Interpath, LabDAQ, Pathnet, Southern Diagnostics, Spectrum and Sunrise Labs.
MicroMD EMR interfaces with the SureScripts® e-Prescribing network. SureScripts maintains a network of more than 60,000 pharmacies across the U.S. Prescribers can send electronic prescriptions to any of the listed pharmacies, and will receive refill requests from the pharmacies. By exchanging prescription information with pharmacies electronically, e-Prescribing reduces the risk of medication errors associated with poor handwriting, illegible faxes and accidental key strokes.
MicroMD EMR interfaces with the CliniScribe transcription service. Providers dictate notes and have them sent for transcription with or without voice-to-text manipulation. The documents return electronically from the transcription service and can be imported automatically or manually into the MicroMD system. An NLP module allows conversion of text into discrete data.
MicroMD EMR integrates with Dragon Medical’s speech recognition software. The system utilizes the Microsoft voice-to-text engine and uses the SAPI interface.
