Shareable Ink Ambulatory Record
The Ease of Pen and Paper with Your Practice EHR
Electronic Data from the Stroke of a Pen
As a physician in an outpatient practice setting, you’re feeling pressure from all around - government, payors, and your local hospital - to adopt an electronic health record system. One of your primary concerns about implementing an EHR is the extra time it will take to document patient visits. You simply can’t afford to see fewer patients, and you don’t want to be working late typing notes.
Why can’t an EHR be as natural and fast as writing on paper?
Now it can. Shareable Ink Ambulatory Record complements your practice EHR, allowing you to continue using pen and paper in the exam room while populating the EHR with electronic data as if typed in with a keyboard.
When is Shareable Ink Ambulatory Record Used?
Shareable Ink Ambulatory Record can be used with any specialty-, state- or practice-specific form to quickly document at the point of care. It can be used by any clinician in a practice as well as by patients filling out medical history and consent forms. It is particularly popular among specialists whose documentation styles don’t easily lend themselves to typing, such as ophthalmologists, dermatologists, allergists and physical therapists, among others.
- Clinical Office Visit. Any form used to capture information at the point of care can be documented via Shareable Ink Ambulatory Record, including order forms, physical exam forms, and procedure notes.
- Patient Medical History. Patients can also fill out and sign forms using a Shareable Ink digital pen system, utilizing Anoto technology, in the waiting room. Their information can populate the EHR so that there is no redundant data entry required by clinicians.
- Charge capture. Superbills, or charge sheets, can be digitized with the Shareable Ink technology. Diagnosis and procedure codes captured and passed electronically to the practice management system, shortening the revenue cycle and reducing data entry work for billing staff.
- Productivity is maintained by using the most natural, least disruptive form of data input – pen and paper
- Visit documentation is quick and completed in the exam room – no need to go to an office to dictate or type
- Patient-generated information can auto-populate the EHR as discrete, useable data
- Minimal training is required for providers, staff and patients alike. Anyone who can write with a pen already knows how to use Shareable Ink
- Pen and paper is the most inconspicuous form of documentation in the exam room, creating no barrier between physician and patient
