Making The Transition To Online Electronic Health Records
When you put the trust into another company for dental or medical record management, it must be a shared-risk environment. Verinotes ensures no practice will
lose its private data or patient charts as long as they are Verinotes members.
Our backup policies and procedures are incredibly strict and thorough.
In conjunction with the risk-assessment, there are several questions that need to be answered in order to secure a safe future for your practice's records.
The way a company answers these questions should be a determining factor for choosing a EHR provider.
Questions To Consider
-
If a healthcare provider retires or goes out of business, what arrangements to convert records to archival formats are available?
Verinotes will give the healthcare provider a windows-based copy of Verinotes along with their patient and user databases.
-
If an individual physician shares a record database system with multiple providers but then the individual physician leaves that healthcare system,
how does she separate her practice's records from the central database to take them with her for archival, as often required by law?
Verinotes will give the physician a windows-based copy of Verinotes along with her patient records as specified by the practice.
-
Who determines the frequency of "purging" of records?
Only practice administrators (owners of the online Verinotes practice) can purge records. Records are never
removed, only marked as archived.
-
What if my internet connection goes down?
The current state of internet connectivity is very reliable, but not as reliable as your standard land-line phone system.
If you lose internet connectivity, it should be restored by your ISP within a reasonable time-frame.
-
Can patient records or progress notes ever be completely removed from the system?
No. Records can never be fully removed from Verinotes. Even records that are deleted are just marked as deleted.
