Thursday, July 6, 2017 – Atlanta, GA - Surgical Information Systems (SIS), an industry leader focused exclusively on delivering perioperative IT to ASCs and hospitals, announced the general availability of the latest version of its No.1 ranked ASC specific EHR1, AmkaiCharts. The latest version of AmkaiCharts includes new features and enhancements to provide improved workflow and enhanced physician interaction and satisfaction with the software.
End users can now create Physician Review Encounter templates and add them to a patient’s record at the time of scheduling. The physician templates pull in required data directly from information documented in the nursing module, reducing the time and amount of documentation required for a physician to complete the chart. Additional enhancements to the GI Op Note and Quick Notes functionality further reduce physician documentation time. Physicians can now map impressions, plans, procedures, and CPT® codes based on specific findings while charting GI procedures which will automatically populate in the record. Tagging capabilities have been added to Quick Notes which will recognize similar verbiage (i.e., Left, Right, Both) used multiple times and will apply it throughout the Op Note.AmkaiCharts optional Medication Reconciliation interface (inbound from Surescripts) has been enhanced to handle non-codified medications, improving the ease and accuracy of medication history documentation.
