By providing each patient with a symptom-specific questionnaire, Instant Medical History helps patients organize and construct their history. Branching logic progresses quickly through adjustable questionnaires before organizing the positives and negatives for physicians. This information is then sent to the NextGen EMR patient history bar.
The firms say that, with this information, physicians conduct an informed patient interview while reducing the visit time and improving documentation quality and patient care. This provides physicians with more accurate preliminary information, resulting in a more focused and higher value in-person interview in support of better – and faster – diagnoses.
The partnership will use clinical document architecture to enhance the narrative report by making discrete data elements available to NextGen EMR and will soon be accessible via NextMD, NextGen Healthcare’s integrated portal, for patients to complete at home.
