2. ONCOLOGY EHR
The emergence of different types and
qualities of Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
has led to a myriad of vendors supplying
innovative products in the market
With the boom in healthcare technology,
many companies or vendors have entered
into the market to provide more effective
methods for physicians to provide quality
healthcare
3. ONCOLOGY EHR
The support for these technologies provided
by the government in the form of incentives
through the Meaningful Use program,
coupled with the creation of Regional
Extension Centers (RECs) and ACOs
(Accountable Care Organizations) has
automatically increased the demand for
Electronic Health Records
The surge in vendors developing modern
technologies has thus increased dramatically,
making it increasingly harder for physicians
and practices to find the right software for
their practice or specialty
4. ONCOLOGY EHR
For physicians specializing in Oncology, the
first step to take is to start looking for
software that is specialty-specific
In this case, physicians should be on the
lookout for an Oncology-specific EHR that
specifically caters to the workflows of
physicians who treat cancer patients
Oncology specific EHR is geared to manage
and treat cancer and similar illnesses
5. ONCOLOGY EHR
Oncologists use a wide range of tests to
screen or test patients including ultrasounds,
MRIs, CT and PET scans and mammograms
etc
Therefore, Oncology specific EHR should
seamlessly integrate with different types of
systems, devices and machines
It is even better if the EHR is interoperable
and backed by cloud technology, so that it is
easier for data to be exchanged, regardless
of location
6. ONCOLOGY EHR
Oncology EHR software should be able to
cater to different types of cancer patients and
hence be powerful enough to store huge
amounts of data along with being fast enough
to analyze and evaluate that data
It is imperative for Oncology EHRs to have
integrated Clinical Decision Support
It enables the software to determine the
current state of the patient and also to
recommend the ideal treatment plan and
further how to prevent the disease
7. ONCOLOGY EHR
The advantage of such technology is the
minimization of manual errors made my
physicians such as misdiagnosis or
prescribing the wrong amounts of drugs
usage etc
