EHR Features

Smart Learning

This EHR Learns What You Do

No two practices or practitioners are alike, so why be constrained by the limitations of an EHR that only lets you work one way? eDerm is completely customizable and gives you the flexibility to chart the way you practice.

Lean More

When it comes to selecting an EMR or EHR, dermatologists have one common goal: a process that makes dermatology electronic medical records easy. That’s why you’ll love eDerm’s Smart Learning™ feature – it simplifies the learning curve. You don’t have to learn how it works. It takes its cues from you.

Here are some of the key features that make eDerm so easy to work with:

Save As Default

Throughout the eDerm app, this feature lets you set up commonly used information fields for which you will use the same information about 80 percent of the time. Some examples are Procedure Preparation, Suture Types and Materials, Repair Types, Patient Instructions, etc. For these recurring fields, you’ll see a Save as Default feature that allows eDerm to learn the information in that field and use it as your default information for new entries. Most of the time you will not have to re-enter the information. And for the small percentage of cases where the information must be altered, you can simply edit the text in this field. This feature will simplify your encounters and save you a great deal of time.

Impression Setup

Our iPad app also lets you configure the impressions that you see most often in the same areas and treat the same way. That allows eDerm to preset the locations and plans of care for each impression so charting can be done quickly.

Remember Fields

With our EMR dermatologists have the ability to set up fields where eDerm will remember their values. This feature is also a timesaver. For instance, you can use the Remember fields feature for prescription details. Once you set the quantity, signature and refills for a prescription, our app automatically remembers them (without using the Save as Default function).

List Adds and Edits

You have the ability to add and edit lists throughout the eDerm app. eDerm will learn how you organize and maintain these lists so that each time you use a list the items in that list will appear as you last edited them. With this customization feature, the items that are most important to you will always appear exactly as you prefer them. These features will revolutionize your dermatology electronic medical records, helping you to always work faster and smarter.

Smart Coding

Built-In Billing Expertise

eDerm has the built-in billing expertise to code correctly while maximizing practice efficiency and profitability. No more under-coding or over-coding. Your documentation automatically and seamlessly supports your billing and generates the Super-Bill with E&M and CPT/ICD9/ICD10 codes.

Thanks to eDerm’s Smart Coding™ feature – billing and coding have never been easier. Here are some of the key features that make our SmartCoding™ feature so easy to work with:

E&M Calculator

Our EHR for dermatologists uses an industry standard method of billing for your office visit CPT. Our E&M Calculator assesses your current level and tells you what additional activities you can do to reach the next level.

Super Bill

Within our EMR dermatologists can view a Super Bill. eDerm automatically creates and displays a Super Bill within the iPad app summarizing the encounter including all the ICD9/ICD10 diagnoses along with the CPT procedure code performed for each problem. It also gives you the flexibility to make changes. On the Super Bill, you may edit the ICD9/ICD10s and add new ICD9/ICD10 to CPT mappings.

Impression Details

The integrated functionality within the eDerm system makes the entire coding process seamless. In the impression details, eDerm provides ICD9/ICD10 code editing – that means it will automatically remember how you like to code each impression and carry these codes over to the Super Bill.

CPT Coding

Not all CPTs are generated in the same way. Some are specific to quantities and/or locations. So eDerm automatically tracks quantities and locations to code the specific CPTs to the correct values.

One-Touch Charting

eDerm Streamlines Impressions

eDerm is all about simplifying your dermatology electronic medical records. With the eDerm Smart Learning™ feature, when you select an impression and it is documented along with the plan of care in the visit note.

This revolutionary EHR app for dermatologists is all about simplifying and streamlining the encounter for greater speed, accuracy and simplicity. The following features will do just that when you select an impression.

Automatic Location Selection

Smart Learning™ allows you to eliminate unnecessary steps, so it allows you to automatically associate a location with a specific impression. For example, you may “teach” eDerm to always select the face as the location for acne. So every time the “acne” diagnosis is selected it automatically defaults to the face as the location.

Automatic Plan of Care Selection

The same automatic association can be made between the impression and the plan of care. For example, actinic keratosis is almost always treated with cryotherapy (destruction by freezing). If you use Save as Default for the cryotherapy POC, all you have to do when treating a patient with this impression is to select the locations for treatment. Everything else is automatically done for you.

Automatic Impression Details

eDerm’s Save as Default feature simplifies everything from descriptors to differential diagnosis (DDX) and patient instructions. You simply select the impression and the impression details will already be documented and patient instructions are ready to print. It’s that simple!

Visit Note

The Visit Note will be automatically created as you select impression and treat with plan of care. No additional typing or changes are required.

Biopsies

When you select biopsies, the requisition is automatically created. When the biopsy is ready, the practice can print the requisition with labels instead of writing the information by hand.

Dermatology Knowledge Base

Built Exclusively for the Practice of Dermatology

eDerm has all the features you need in a dermatology EHR – and nothing extra that you don’t need, so it’s easy to learn and easy to use. eDerm makes dermatology electronic medical records simple with a complete dermatological library and the dermatology workflow to make every encounter quicker and more efficient than ever before.

Patient Education

1 Step Simple

The application has a Patient Instruction area for all impressions/POCs. The Patient Instructions may be shared across the impressions/POCs, or be specific to a single impression/POC. Patient Instructions may also be defaulted for impression/POC. In the summary, all Patient Instructions are brought into a single document for easy printing. The instructions may also be printed directly from any of the impressions.

POCs. In addition to these comments, the topics of follow up instructions, return appointments and continued plan of care are still relevant.

Dashboard

A Better Bedside Manner

eDerm’s built-in Dashboard notes and reminders feature gives you instant access to patient details. Dashboard “personal” notes do not become part of the patient’s official record. It’s a great way to better connect with you patients by remembering personal details they shared with you.

For instance, if the patient was going to have a baby or going on a cruise, you could ask them about it on the next visit. This personal “bedside manner” creates a more personal bond between doctor and patient and helps patients to feel more at ease with you.

Physical Exam

Easy Does It!

eDerm makes documenting your patient’s physical exam easier than ever. Bring patient histories forward from past visits. Search and sort biopsy log by patient, disease, lab, date, pathology status (pending/received) and treated/untreated cancers. There’s no need to re-key information or perform repetitive tasks. During the exam, eDerm automatically associates the information you enter to every step of the process, so you won’t need to enter it again. eDerm keeps an active problem list of each patient including plan of care and work completed during previous visits – and past work can easily be copied into the current visit. It’s the easiest way to manage a comprehensive care plan for patients.

Photos

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

Wouldn’t it be great if your EHR could make automatic contextual connections between photos of your patient’s treatment areas and their patient record and plan of care? eDerm can – and it is the only app that does this! Throughout the exam, just use your iPad to photograph problem. The application supports unlimited picture taking. Photos are associated with their Impression or POC and are automatically documented to the Impression or POC. Comments may be added to photos. Photos automatically go to the Visit Note and Patient Chart for later reference.

Pathology Life Cycle

eDerm Automatically Tracks Patients with Untreated Cancer

eDerm has a complete pathology life cycle that manages pathologies through all stages:

Biopsy
Order
Neoplasm of uncertain behavior diagnosis
Result

In the Result stage, the practitioner can assign the micro diagnosis, mark if the specimen is cancerous, determine the plan of care and follow treatment where the plan of care is completed and the specimen is now marked as treated.

There are several color-coded pathology logs to help with quick visibility into analysis.

The patient and practice biopsy log searches and sorts by patient, disease, laboratory used, date range and pathology status, such as pending and received from lab, untreated cancer and treated cancer.

Patient Chart

View It Your Way

Both the web application and iPad application allow you to view visit note, addendums, pathology, operational reports, blood work, cultures, medical records, prescriptions, miscellaneous procedures, skin cancers, cryos, biopsies, letters, body images, patient comments, instructions, biopsy log, consents, disease dictionary and phone messages.

Scanning

With eDerm’s scanning feature, you can make any paper document part of your patient’s electronic file. Simply scan the document and save it in a digital format (PDF or image file). Then, use the application scan management feature to upload the digital file to the patient’s chart or pathology log.
