Medamation
MD was developed as a solution to the shortcomings of hand written charts,
dictation and crude word processor based records. Medamation MD
provides much better documentation in much less time. Better documentation
means...
 |
Better billing

|
Better HCFA Compliance
|

No need for transcription

Decreased medical malpractice risk

Medamation MD saves you
money.
Medamation MD’s low acquisition cost makes it affordable to even the
smallest hospitals and practices. We provide you with just what you need to
improve your charting system without all of the complicated "bells and
whistles" that can only be afforded by large institutions.
Medamation MD Saves you time.
Charts are produced faster and retrieval of patient medical records stored
in a database is instantaneous. Important data from past visits is brought
forward and presented. After review, this information is easily and quickly
incorporated into the current record.
Medamation MD helps you to
produce better quality charts.
The MD chart is not only a medical record; it is also a reflection of your
work. Medamation MD charts are legible, more complete and are produced
without the need for encrypted abbreviations.
The charts are easily
customizable to your own unique style and do not force you down a maze of
algorithms designed by a programmer. Multimedia elements such as digital
images, video, sound, and digitized EKGs can now become part of the
Electronic Medical Record.
Medamation MD is easy to use.
You will find Medamation MD intuitive to your way of thinking since it was
designed by a Physician. It has a short learning curve and requires no
special computer skills. Patient data is easily recorded using Dragon
NaturallySpeaking voice dictation software or by selecting from drop down
menus.

engine demands a much more powerful system than Medamation MD alone.

About Laptops
While laptop computers add a element of
mobility, they tend to be somewhat slower than desktop computers with equal
specifications. If you are purchasing a laptop, we strongly recommend
buying the fastest one you can afford, to obtain the most efficient and
accurate voice recognition.
However if you are not using Dragon, just
about any laptop will work fine, as long as it has a screen resolution of
1024 x 768.
Software Requirements
|
On new systems we recommend Windows
2000, but on existing systems Windows 98 should work best. |
|
If using Dragon voice recognition
software (strongly recommended) it should be installed and "trained"
first. |
