Chart Management

Chart Management, a built in module of OrbitEMRx, provides a comprehensive set of easy-to-use tools to manage patients' medical record. This is a physician centric approach of creating and managing charts by providing customizable templates, single screen to make navigation easier, and look-and-feel similar to conventional paper charts to which physicians are accustomed.

Features

  5. Efficient search engine to search charts based on commonly used industry standard keywords.
  6. Access charts on desktop PC, laptop, tablet PC, PDA, Palm, and BlackBerry.
