eCalcs – How to video

Posted by Mike Dow on February 3, 2012 under Application integration, Demonstration, Framingham Risk Calculator, Interoperability, Technical

We have received a warm response to eCalcs, Galen’s latest bolt on for the Allscripts Enterprise EHR.

We have received a lot of compliments along the way – integrated health calculators are much needed, that Galen put out a thoughtfully crafted product, and even that we finally listened a built this type of add-on tool that makes providers happy. That last one is my favorite – it’s a tough time for providers with the rush to Meaningful Use and now to ICD-10, many feel that they are taking on more work with lower results. If we can provide a “cool tool” that makes life easier, I couldn’t be happier.

What we have also received are plenty of questions about how it works. You can cite the scores into a Note? How are the scores stored in EHR – as Results? Questions like those.

This How To video will help answer those questions. It’s just under three minutes long and covers the major functionality within eCalcs and its integration with the EHR.

Our marketing firm also sent over a concise and rather visually pleasing brochure for eCalcs. Thanks guys!

eCalcs – Integrated Health Calculators

Posted by Mike Dow on January 25, 2012 under Application integration, Demonstration, Enhancements, Enterprise EHR, Framingham Risk Calculator, Uncategorized

We’re excited about this one.

For years, doctors have been using tools like the Framingham Risk Calculator to estimate risk for a number of different disease states – like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and breast cancer. These calculators use information commonly found in the patient’s chart like vital signs, lab values and age. The risk scores are increasingly being typed back into the chart.

eCalcs are . . .

Integrated into the EHR – with one click of a button you are brought to a host of the most common health calculators, including the Framingham Risk Calculators.

Patient Specific – pulling in the relevant data from the current patient’s chart.

Documented back into the EHR – the risk scores can be added back into the patient’s chart with a single click.
