Oncology Specific EHR Software

| Interactive EHR |
The ICC Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a unique state-of-the-art application that provides clinicians with the ability to sort, segment, and probe stored data using advanced search tools for clinical automation.
All ICC CIS come with a complete Electronic Health Record to be used by physicians, consultants, nurses and paramedical staff to record their admission and progress notes in a coded, menu-driven (free-text, or dictated) format. The user determines the format based on his or her preference.
ICC EHR Tools supports charting templates (images or drawings) for individual physicians. Clinicians can retrieve the data related to their patient through the EHR. They can, as well filter the content to view only those notes relevant to their query.
Clinical data entered into the EHR are available for quality assurance by either the clinical or administration staff. The decision support engine also refers to the clinical data during order entry.
ICC EHR goes beyond a "traditional, but narrowly-defined EHR"(with laboratory and other results); it also stores interactive history, physical examination, progress-notes, nursing notes, care plans, incident reports, inputs and outputs, diabetic charting, dialysis charting, chemotherapy protocol management and more.
It can as well be configured to access scanned documents, ancillary to patient care. Thus these may be made available to staff through the same screens that are used to access the interactive Electronic Health Record.

Why Waste Time?
Don't waste valuable time looking for paper files and folders hidden in inconvenient archives; ICC EHR gives you the means that you need to stay informed about your patient, from imaging and lab results to billing information at the touch of a key.

Blumenthal: "president has said that everyone will have an electronic health record by 2014."
National Coordinator for Health IT David Blumenthal said, "Electronic health records and other forms of health IT can certainly be improved, and there are examples of bad implementation and other problems." He added, "I still think that on the whole, across the country we'd be better off with universal availability of electronic health records. We'd have fewer errors, fewer missed diagnoses, less duplication of tests and fewer adverse drug events."
When asked about his own transition to EHRs, Blumenthal said, "At some time over the last 10 years, I was basically required to use electronic records. I learned it gradually over time." He added, "As I got more capable, I became increasingly convinced of its value in clinical care. It was making me a better physician."
Blumenthal noted that the "president has said that everyone will have an electronic health record by 2014." He said, "That is the goal we are working toward right now. We are trying to make the network available as fast we can" (Talbot, MIT Technology Review, November/December 2009).
