SmartlinkEMR Saves Staff Time

SmartlinkEMR in action at a physician practice in Carmel, Indiana.

At this implementation, the application aggregates reports from the Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE), LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics into a single database providing a one stop Patient Diagnostics Information System.

The time savings from office staff is incredible as they report at least two to three hours saved in each workday.
