OB/GYN EHR: Another Remarkable Achievement

Science and technological developments have changed the process of examining a patient. The arrival of the OB/GYN EHR has made enormous differences to the efficiency of OB/GYN practices. To gain the full incentive, practitioners should participate in the Medicare incentive program.  Obstetrics is the medical practice for pregnant women and Gynaecology is the medical practice of diagnosing problems with the female reproductive system. An OB/ GYN's job is to screen for certain diseases including cancers of the breasts, cervix, uterus, and vagina and surrounding area. 

Another important part of an OB/GYN's job is to diagnose and treat female reproductive health issues that include sexually transmitted diseases, menstrual issues, diseases of the breasts, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, as well as fertility problems, and premenstrual syndrome and menopause related issues. Like other practices, OB/GYNs are supposed to have EHR as mandated by the U.S. government that “every physician should move to Electronic Health Records by 2015”. Therefore it is essential for OB/GYNs to switch to EHR software offered by many companies across the U.S. EHRs for OB/GYNs assist OB/GYN Practitioners in improving the quality of care being provided as well as assist the OB/GYN in building solid relationships with patients. OB/GYN EHR Features generally includes:
  • Gynecological History
  • Obstetric History
  • Antenatal Visit History
  • STD Studies
  • Non Stress Tests
  • RH Antibodies
  • Breast Exam
  • Pelvic Exam
  • Ultrasound
  • Mammogram
  • X Rays
Along with the above features, OB/GYNs can also have the benefits of customized OB/GYN templates that feature easy-to-use and easy to document pictures for documenting HPIs, causes and treatments. Breast and pelvic exam templates are specialized and modified so physicians can best meet the needs of their patients. Practitioners can also have specialized diagnosis and treatment templates. The customized templates, HPIs and associated treatments of OB/GYN EHR make it possible for every OB/GYN to be documenting charts and submitting claims with efficiency.
