Middle School / High School / College / Any School EMR – The Importance of Documentation
We all know the reasons why it’s important to thoroughly document, but incase you forgot, here they are:
-
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date information about patients at the point of care.
- Provide continuity of care across medical providers.
- Improve patient and provider interaction and communication.
- CYA in the event of litigation.
- Means of data collection to help with decisions on staffing, budgeting, inventory, facility needs, etc.
However, with limited budgets, a costly EMR system isn’t a priority for many secondary schools. Which leaves ATs to come up with and implement their own documentation strategy, e.g., writing on the back of a gauze pad.
Put that gauze pad away, we got you.
The Go4 app has the only HIPAA compliant, youth-sport focused Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system.
It’s built right into the app and it’s free to use.
-
- Document injuries from anywhere.
- Securely share a PDF of your evaluation with patients and their guardians to ensure continuity of care if physician follow up is needed.
- And C that A!
So, if you haven’t already, download the app. And if you have, click the EMR button and start documenting.
