Most viable EMR Solutions:
Whether you are a general practitioner or a consultant, and work solo or as
a small group, you will find RKMCharts electronic medical records system
sufficient for your clinical documentation and workflow needs. It is being
successfully used in a wide range of medical specialties including Primary
Care, Neurology, Psychiatry, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Urology, Physical
Medicine & Rehab and Pain Management. Incorporating the best of
client-server and Internet technologies, it is one of the most advanced EMR
software in terms of functionality and user interface design. And starting
at a 4-User lifetime license, it is one of the few low-priced emr systems
that has an enterprise level database at its core.
You can achieve the goal of automation and paperless medical records
through any technology solutions but with our electronic medical record
system, you will have a much smoother and easier transition at a mere
fraction of the cost. For a small practice, EMR implementation and
conversion cannot go any easier than this.
Easy to learn,
it usually takes just a few hours to know the EMR system in and out. Our
state-of-the art browser technology and intuitive interface design ensures
that even the practitioners who are not computer savvy can learn it fast.
Yet, with integrated patient charting, prescription and refill management,
document management, encounter note generation, patient and resource
scheduling, intra-office messaging and powerful customization features, it
is equally suitable for advanced users of medical electronic records
systems.
Easy to use,
all charts have a patient based layout. There is no need to back out to
various sections of the EMR software to gain information. Demographics,
historical data, scanned documents, encounters, treatment plans,
medications and charges are all within the patient's file. This
sophisticated design allows users to view their entire workflow and manage
clinical and administrative tasks from any point within the program. And
its charts look and feel very close to real paper charts to which
physicians are accustomed, making it even more simple and one of the
fastest EMR systems around. Whether you are a family physician or an
internist, or a consultant such as neurologist, cardiologist, psychiatrist
or pulmonary specialist, you will find UniCharts electronic medical record
system apt at documenting complex patient visits accurately and in less
time.
Easy to install,
it takes less than 5 minutes to complete the entire process. A wizard
guides through simple steps to complete the installation of EMR software.
No changes are made to your computer files or registry in any way. Many
electronic medical record systems require database to be installed and
managed separately. In contrast, RKM Charts EMR solution is an integrated
software package and installed as a single unit. It has been designed from
the outset to be a Plug and Play electronic medical records software. Even
a non-technical person can get the EMR system up-and-running in a short
while.
Easy to customize,
the built-in customization tool in the EMR program provides amazing
customization capabilities. You can alter almost any part of the patient
encounter form to meet the workflow requirements of your specialty. You can
create your own dropdown menus, list menus and toggle buttons. You can even
add, remove or relocate entire sections of the encounter form with just a
few clicks. RKMCharts electronic medical records software has been
successfully deployed in diverse medical specialties such as Family
Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Neurology, Psychiatry,
Pulmonology, Cardiology, Oncology and Physical Medicine &
Rehabilitation. We also have very successful EMR implementations in Pain
Management clinics, Sleep Disorders clinics and Ambulatory Surgical Centers
(ASC).
Easy to maintain,
installation of the EMR program is required on just one computer within the
practice. Authorized users log onto the EMR from any access point over the
network simply using their Internet Explorer browsers. Depending on the
network configuration and security policy, patient medical records can be
accessed from both local intranets and the Internet with equal ease,
utilizing the same rich user interface in either case. Built-in Live Update
feature makes software updation a breeze. Database backups can be made with
just a few clicks. You can even backup the entire EMR program on a USB
flash drive, plug that drive onto another computer or network and start
using it immediately.
Easy to rely on,
RKMCharts EMR fully complies with HIPAA regulations to protect electronic
patient information. Furthermore, it utilizes the best combination of
current day software technologies to provide you with a dependable and
long-term EMR solution. Database is a backbone of electronic medical record
solutions. Unlike most low-priced EMR systems, our software does not rely
on a desktop database to store your valuable data. The limitations of a
desktop database become apparent once the patient population becomes large,
including decreased response time and frequent crashes. Despite its low
price, RKMCharts EMR software is bundled with a reliable and top-rated high
performance database that is used by millions of mission critical
applications worldwide, including many high-priced EMR systems.
Easy on the budget,
RKMCharts EMR system is a one time investment. All RKMCharts licenses are
for lifetime and never expire, and include lifetime licenses for embedded
database and other components. And besides being a one-time expenditure,
the cost is amazingly low per user. As any emr comparison matrix would
demonstrate, it is one of the most affordable EMR software that provides
the best ROI, if any ROI justification is required at this cost bracket at
all. Every license includes one-year of free updates and email support.
Further support is entirely optional and based on a flat yearly amount
which is also below the industry average of 20 percent of the base EMR
price. There are no hidden costs or charges whatsoever. It is truly a low
cost system with a high-end functionality.
Do I need an
Internet connection to use this EMR system?
Not at all. RKMCharts is not a web-based ASP solution. Instead, it is a
browser-based EMR system that physicians download and install on a computer
within their practices just like any regular program or application. Unlike
ASP solutions, users have full ownership and control of the data as it
resides within the database embedded in the program. To use it, physicians
or staff members just have to open an Internet Explorer browser window from
a terminal/computer over the LAN, point it to the login page, provide
credentials and log in. If there is no network or for some reason a
physician wants to use it alone, the EMR may be installed on a desktop,
laptop or Tablet PC of the doctor and used through a browser window from
that very same machine. In either case, there is absolutely no need for web
or an Internet connection to use the program or access patient charts and
data.
Then why this EMR
solution designed to run on a browser?
A browser-based solution has many advantages over a traditional
thick-client system. At the foremost, it needs to be installed on just one
computer on the local network. This single-installation architecture
significantly reduces deployment and maintenance hassles. It is inherently
easier to secure, maintain, and monitor a browser-based program. It is also
much easier to apply periodic updates to the software as only one node, the
EMR server, needs to be updated. And last but not the least, a
browser-based electronic medical records system is Internet enabled by
default and can be used to serve as a personal ASP. If the practice/clinic
have a permanent IP address (you get it when you subscribe to a permanent
internet connection, such as DSL) and the local network is configured for
outside communications, users can access medical records in much the same
way from a remote location such as hospital, nursing home or a second
office that also has Internet connectivity. Very few EMR solutions offer
this kind of flexibility and capability.
Can this EMR
software be customized for my specialty?
No doubt about it. The encounter form of RKMCharts is a flexible and
versatile template designed to accommodate almost any specialty in
medicine. It follows CMS guidelines for evaluation and management services
to document history and physical examination of patients. Although these
guidelines are directed towards Medicare and Medicaid programs, they have
become a standard for patient management and documentation, regardless of
the payer. While each and every part of the encounter form can be
customized in any desired way, it is essentially the physical examination
section that requires tweaking according to the criteria defined by CMS for
specialty-specific examinations. A new installation of RKMCharts EMR system
defaults to general multi-system examination as performed by primary care
physicians. Ophthalmologists, cardiologists, neurologists, urologists or
any specialist for that matter who conduct single system organ examination
can make adjustments appropriate to their specialty in no time using our
built-in customization tool. And not only body systems and bullet elements
of physical examination can be customized but the entire encounter form can
be transformed to reflect areas of emphasis for that specialty.

Technology Overview :
RKMCharts is one of the most comprehensive and cost-effective browser-based
EMR Software available today. It has been developed with some of the most
open technologies so that our customers can achieve maximum benefit with
the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). We have placed a premium
investment on the design and robustness of this electronic medical records
system to provide a browser-based and still a truly interactive
implementation.
Technologies Used:
RKMCharts server is built around J2EE framework. The core J2EE technologies
that have been utilized include Java, Java Server Pages (JSP), Java
Servlets, Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and Java Database
Connectivity (JDBC).
RKMCharts client is built using standard-based Dynamic HTML (DHTML) and
JavaScript technologies. State-of-the-art design of our web client is
second to none, not just in healthcare industry but in the entire web
arena. Traditional web applications are dumb static pages that need to be
refreshed at every user interaction, whereas our innovative implementation
of RKMCharts client allows user interactions to happen asynchronously,
making users completely unaware of communications with the server. Besides
being interactive, our sophisticated interface design allows users to view
and control their entire workflow without switching windows or refreshing
pages. It is a new approach to web application development similar to Ajax,
an implementation model that is being followed by leading companies such as
Google and Amazon. All major products that Google has introduced over the
last year, including Orkut, Gmail, and Google Maps, use the revolutionary
Ajax approach.
Other standard-based technologies that have been used in the development of
this unique EMR system include Extensible Markup Language (XML) which is a
universal and platform-independent format for data transmission and
storage. Built on such standard technologies, RKMCharts can respond to any
shift in the paradigm and can be extended without difficulty. It is a
future proof system
