HIE Benefits for Physicians

Physicians benefit from Medicity's HIE solutions:

You can spend more time on patient care and less time on administrative tasks.

You can demonstrate meaningful use of your health IT systems and receive your share of ARRA stimulus funds.

You can coordinate your patients’ care with other providers they may be seeing because you all have access to your patient’s medical records and can exchange information quickly, without having to make calls or wait for reports to be faxed or mailed.

You can quickly and easily refer your patients to other providers – passing on important information to those providers and then receiving follow-up about the subsequent care your patients receive.

You can place orders for lab tests and other procedures electronically and receive the results quickly and efficiently.

During an office visit, all the information you need on your patient is available right on the spot.

You can lower administrative costs in your practice.

You can see immediately if your patient has been seen by another physician or been in the hospital and what medications he or she is taking.

You can avoid repeating unnecessary lab tests.

In an emergency, all the information you need to take care of your patient is available – within seconds.

You can avoid prescribing medications that haven’t worked in the past or might interact with drugs other physicians have prescribed for your patient.

You can improve continuity of care. You receive timely access to information regarding the disposition of your patients who are seen in an ED or another care setting, enabling follow-up that wasn’t possible before.
