Many manual processes become automated. The mundane task of pulling paper records is replaced by simply clicking on a patient’s name. ​

You have easier access to lab results, images and documentation, since they can be attached directly to a patient’s record.

​ Being able to share and access patient data quickly from any location improves clinical workflow and efficiency. ​ At the end of the day the software can generate all the financial reports necessary for billing and insurance purposes.

​ Other reports can be easily produced, from consultation reports for other physicians to forms requested by the patient. Any paperwork you use regularly in your practice can be added to the system. ​

KairosMD enables offices to reduce their physical storage space by drastically reducing the amount of paper used for each patient. This can translate into having more office space available for treatment. Available treatment rooms are often the rate-limiting step in seeing patients, especially as a practice gets busy. You will appreciate the extra space available for patient care.

It might enable you to add equipment or procedures to your practice that can generate more income. ​ Significantly reduce and often eliminate costs associated with transcription, purchasing folders, paper and other stationary, copying, management (pulling/filling) and storage (office space, cabinets). Depending upon the type and size of your practice, you may be able to work with less office staff.

For example, you should not need a file clerk. ​ You can customize a list of medications, generic or other less expensive drugs. Once these are in the system, by consulting the list you can avoid expensive medications by offering patients more cost-effective alternatives. ​

​​ KairosMD makes a record more legible, accessible and consistent. The records are secure. The software comes equipped with a security administration module enabling administrators to manage access to patient records through user permissions. ​

Because all the information is entered real-time, a more complete and accurate chart can be maintained. Physicians are provided with access to a more complete and legible patient record.

There should be no misplaced notes or reports. ​ One of the greatest advantages to having patient documentation digitized is the ability to manipulate data for reporting capabilities. This can be very useful for research reports, statistics, drug recalls, and to track specific diseases. Each physician can find his or her own best way to use the data manipulation part of the software. ​

Keeping patient records up-to-date and easily accessible translates into better health care offered to patients. ​ Clinicians can access patient records from various locations. It is easier to update them electronically than to maintain lengthy paper trails. ​

Software can be used to track patient’s follow-up activity, patient’s compliance with provider’s orders, and patient’s progress. Reports and graphs can be generated to monitor disease improvement or change. For example, a graph of blood sugar values provides a very clear way to demonstrate diabetes control.

You can actually show this to your patients. ​ Use of the software allows for better flow of information and enhanced communication with patients, providers and staff, all resulting in improvement in quality of care. Physician’s efficiency improves, so that more quality time can be spent with the patient rather than on paperwork demands. ​

There is less chance of error. Once an allergy to medication is documented, it can be entered as an “alert” and every time the physician calls up the patients chart he or she will see the allergy. Other alerts and reminders improve continuity of care, especially in a busy practice or a practice with multiple doctors who may not know every patient. ​
