What Medravecan do for you!
Medical activities areset out to cure disease, if possible, as well as to comfort and ease the pain and suffering that may inflict the patientswho are seeking help and remedy. An importantmission is also to limitthe prospectsfor poor health in the first place, in particular among identifiable risk groupsforpotentially serious conditions. General practice has the charm to deal with all of this. It is a humbling challenge, however, to live up to the expectation, to find the time to be accessible, do everything by the book, and at the same time to convince the individual patient of the issues at stake and choices that may need to be made. Every day has its own surprises, and usually there is more to do than can be supplied. Some difficult tasks need to be put on hold, waiting for a gap sometime to reflect and consider. In addition, there is the inevitable paperwork that calls for attention.
Medrave Software, with its software Medrave, has made it a commitment to make the apparent chaos considerably less so. It should do for doctors what the instruments in the cockpit do for pilots. We catch all the key informationfrom the Electronic Medical Records (EMR), sort and assemble it into logical groups, and finally connect them in a fashionto make sense. The idea is to make the short time left for reflection as efficient as possible. How many patients have I met, and how many haveserious issues. How serious, and what interventions do I make a habit to choose. Am I up to date on treatments? Which patients should I prioritize to avoid serious consequences.
The software we make, Medrave, is supposed to be the assistant you need, there at your fingertips. Whenever you need it. A series of standard reports for an assortment of purposes answer your main questions and concerns. There are also possibilities to make your own searches, ad hoc. You may recognize some of the items at stake:
- Patient security – are all patients at risk being properly tended to
- Management and medical governance (efficient practice..) purposes
- Quality assessment – do I perform according to good practice guidelines?
- Alerts from pharmacological authorities – find patients who are on a prescription that has been declared potentially harmful
- Reporting to remunerating authorities (insurance companies, counties, government)
- Reporting to common interest organizations, research etc
- Reporting for accreditation purposes
- Reporting patient data to national quality registers
- Benchmarking – being able to compare with peer groups
All the factors above are difficult to supply by the EMR’s because of the clinical skills required to paint the picture, with all the shades involved. Without it, leaving the GP to do it manually, is not a credible alternative: it simply won’t be done properlybecause it is a tedious task, seriouslytime consuming, and will still notmanage to provide the general picture.
Concerns of the cost involved should be put against the alternative. Society is quickly moving toward greater demands on transparency, and accountability, for civil servants and professionals serving the public; and it could be wise to be one step ahead. “Will I be prepared?”. Many additional questions seem reasonable, not to mention the stress of constantly living with fragmented information about the condition of your patients. There is a lot of value coming with Medrave!
Our product will be provided to the Dutch market via your EMR supplier, as an add-on, which makes it easy and safe for you to connect to your system. It has a long experience in this field in the Scandinavian market, and the fourth generation of Medrave experience is now available for you.
