Electronic Medical Records (EMR)

With EMR features such as dictation templates, laboratory support, risk factor analysis routines, comprehensive medication management, and customizable medical reports and graphs; the Team Chart Concept allows you to practice medicine faster, more accurately, and to a higher standard of care than was possible with paper charts. Instead of using a paper chart, the medical staff documents all clinical information in the Team Chart Concept. Provider dictation, vital signs, prescriptions, lab results, photographs, and more are stored in one location and allow for rapid entry and retrieval.

Dictation
TCC's dictation templates offer the provider an unparalleled ability to rapidly enter all information related to a patient encounter.

		Laboratory Healthcare providers often need to quickly request and/or access laboratory information. With TCC, the provider can at any time: • Request Lab Orders • View previous lab results • Create reports and graphs based on lab results In addition, the Team Chart Concept offers extensive support for inside and ouside laboratory equipment and services. TCC uses industry standard protocols such as HL7 to import data from outside laboratories. The imported information is then placed directly in the patient's electronic medical record.

Photographs
The Team Chart Concept also stores photographs, sound files, and even video files. Patient images may be used to document skin conditions, cases of abuse, or disease progression. Patient photographs can even be printed on the prescriptions for security.

		Clinical Reports While efficiency is important in a busy medical office, the benefits of TCC go far beyond rapid data access. The Reporting and Risk Factor Analysis portions of TCC make this system more than a means of storing data; these tools help physicians provide exceptional care for their patients. TCC's clinical reports are an invaluable resource for healthcare providers. The Team Chart Concept allows providers to report on a multitude of medical data. Clinical reports can be used to track such matters as: • Patients on a specific drug • Pediatric growth charts • Vaccination schedules • Treatment regimens The Team Chart Concept's medical reports help the provider and the medical staff stay abreast of the progress and needs of their patients.

Risk Factor Analysis
TCC offers Risk Factor Analysis routines. Risk Factor Analysis routines allow physicians to educate their patients by calculating an individual's level of risk.

• Use the patient's own vital signs, lab results, and personal habits to illustrate the individual's risk for developing certain illnesses.
• Demonstrate how a change in lifestyle or medication could alter the patient's risk.
• Run Risk Factor Analysis routines based on nationally-recognized measures such as the Framingham Risk Factor Study.
• Create your own routines based on any demographic, clinical, or laboratory value.
• By illustrating personal risk for disease, TCC's Risk Factor Analysis routines give the provider a powerful educational tool to use on behalf of the patient.

For example, aggressive monitoring is essential in managing diabetes successfully. Glucose levels, lipid levels, blood pressure, peripheral sensory and vascular function, ophthalmic evaluation, and kidney function should be evaluated regulary. The Team Chart Concept allows the concerned practitioner to monitor all of these functions simultaneously and aggressively. The physician may then implement therapeutic changes based on observed outcomes.

With the Team Chart Concept, electronic medical records offer more than the elimination of the paper chart. From rapid entry and retrieval to better patient care, TCC strives to help the healthcare community practice medicine more efficiently and more effectively.
