MacPractice - the developer of MacPractice MD, MacPractice DDS, MacPractice DC, and MacPractice 20/20 - has added new features and has enhanced its single window interface for all MacPractice products including MacPractice EMR.
Enhancements to the single window interface make patient information easily and quickly accessible from MacPractice’s EMR, Patients and Schedule abilities, according to MacPractice President Mark Hollis. For example, the patient’s attachments, which may include lab results, correspondence and other documents, can now be accessed from the patient’s Electronic Medical Record. Photos and x-rays stored in MacPractice Imaging or MacPractice DR (Digital Radiography) may be viewed, as can word processing documents and templates created in MacPractice Note. All clinical items may be viewed in the billing ledger as well.
While MacPractice users still have the ability to open as many windows as they like, and they can navigate from one MacPractice ability—such as Patients, Schedule, Note, Attachments, Imaging, Rx to another by simply clicking in the Toolbar—they now also have a simple, effective alternative navigation technique allowing them to see content in the other Abilities for the patient right from where they are, says Hollis.
The most requested feature for MacPractice EMR from primary care physicians has been to see all of the clinical information stored throughout MacPractice from within MacPractice EMR, and that has been addressed with this enhancement, he adds. What’s more, the recent update to MacPractice includes a new purchased option: Lab Ability. With the Lab Ability, MacPractice users can track orders, results, a doctor’s review of results and communications with patients. They can also print requisitions from the Lab Tracker if that has been arranged with their preferred Lab.
