Clinical Teamwork

Acumen nEHR™ Tools to Enhance Clinical Teamwork (click to view)

Acumen nEHR supports improved communication and faster access to critical data so that the clinical care team can focus on spending more quality time with patients.

 

Nephrologist
Nephrologists find tremendous time savings associated with anytime, anywhere access to patient records. Patient lists for rounding, along with patient charts and history, are available wherever patients are seen by the nephrologist – the office, hospital, dialysis unit, or home. Intuitive access to the patient’s electronic chart allows at-a-glance review of patient treatment, as well as CKD population management.

 

Nurse
Nurses and other clinical team members benefit from shared access to the complete patient chart. Acumen nEHR notifies the care team when patient orders are due, when physicians have signed off on charts, and when new data has arrived from the lab or dialysis unit. Improved office communication streamlines the work flow for the entire clinical staff.

 

Practice Manager
The Practice or Finance Manager benefits from Acumen nEHR’s unique MCP tracking and reporting capabilities. These features help ensure every patient receives the appropriate number of allowable MCP visits. Documentation of these visits is streamlined so that billing can take place expeditiously. Reports in the Acumen nEHR identify opportunities for improved revenue capture and treatment efficiencies. Uncomplicated reporting tools support pay-for-quality and pay-for-performance reimbursement.

 

Patient
Acumen nEHR benefits the patient by ensuring that his or her care team has access to complete medical history whenever clinical encounters occur. Patients also benefit from the convenience of e-prescribing functions built into Acumen nEHR. Our patient portal allows patients and their designees to review test results and communicate with the care team.
