That would be great....I would really like to hear your thoughts on it.

The better systems should use the laptop as an access point with the information actually kept encrypted on a central repository. In these cases information is kept in the RAM until the "session" is ended for that patient. I think programs that are just that, programs that reside locally, are...

You bring up an interesting concept. Do you think the increased accuracy leads to saved time in some way. For example, if it is more accurate, then maybe you do not have corrections to make, etc. Curious on your thoughts on this.

So...do you think that you get out of the ED and back on the road quicker with this program...and does the ED have access to the PCR as you are creating it?

Another question about ePCRs....for those using them, what you do you think about the time savings? Do you think you get out to your next call sooner? I had been reading a post where some think there is less wall time when an ePCR is being used....any thoughts?

yes...one would think...but there are systems out there that are not interoperable with the billing company. An interoperable world would be wonderful! BTW - I just posted a link to a survey on ePCRs that I am doing....can I have 10 minutes of your time to take it? And then pass it along to...

ePCR Help Greetings All, I am doing a survey on information quality and ePCRs. Your input would be very valuable. The survey take about 10 minutes to complete and I will post the results here once they are compiled. Click here...

Why can't there be an interoperable ePCR that allow for data extraction from a billing program? That does not seem that hard to have...

I think you bring up many good points. From a reimbursement stand point - wouldn't it make sense if there were interoperability between the ePCR and the billing company so the billing fields that are necessary are automatically extracted into the billing program...just a thought. Anyways...I...

So, if this is web based, is it also real time where the receiving ED can access the information...or is it web based in that it goes to a central repository accessible only by your system.

ePCR populating ED record? I agree about paper working all of the time. If you are scanning the paper into a computer, then the data is not part of an interoperable system with the ED, is that correct? How about a system where your ePCR populates a record at the receiving ED....anyone work in a...

I agree about paper working all of the time. If you are scanning the paper into a computer, then the data is not part of an interoperable system with the ED, is that correct? How about a system where your ePCR populates a record at the receiving ED....anyone work in a system like that?

well...yes...I wonder why have both unless it is a transition period

hmm....does the info get backed up to a central repository prior to crashing? That sounds bit frustrating!

Does your jurisdiction have any plans to go electronic only? Would your thoughts be different if you were electronic only?
