The Electronic Medical Record (“EMR”) Lite is the optimum solution for achieving a uniform state-wide system which makes all appropriate personal health information and medical records available and accessible to patients and to their selected health care professionals at the point of care.

The administrative benefits of EMR between providers and payers include electronic transaction cost savings, fraud prevention, etc. The consumer’s benefits include ease of information sharing during natural disasters and other public health emergencies, improving public safety, reducing medical errors, avoiding duplicative and unnecessary medical procedures, and improving coordination of care among health care professionals.

Electronic connectivity to healthcare data is generally a more efficient and less costly means of delivering quality healthcare by providing a centralized inter-operative environment accessible to healthcare providers, payers, employers, and patients.

The provider can request patient historical or current information for:

• Medical results and X-rays from labs
• Medical prescriptions
• Diagnosis and procedures from medical claims
• Patients’ entire electronic health record available in the network

The EMR information can also be provided, without the PHI fields, to research firms, employers, government, and approved agencies to analyze the health of a specific city, state, geographic region, or the entire country. The data can be used to determine consumer health and wellness. Health patterns and risks can be identified and analyzed, and care plans can be derived for the benefit of all patients, thereby providing higher quality care at point of service and reducing total spend on healthcare. This also helps eliminate healthcare fraud and provides a true consumer-driven healthcare model.
