Physicians can take advantage of EHR functionality without disrupting practice workflow and without abandoning certain behaviors, such as documentation style. There are “light” solutions in which the entire care team—physicians, nurses, PAs, record keepers, administrators, and others—can dictate, handwrite and draw illustrations with full access to features such as:

• Patient drug history and electronic face sheets
• E-prescribing, with formulary and eligibility checking
• Bi-directional lab interfaces
• Document linking and access to images
• Health maintenance reminders and care plans
• Computerized physician order entry (CPOE)
• Electronic superbills
• Instant PQRI reporting
• Driver’s license and insurance card scanning
• Credit card processing
• Instant messaging
