Best Medical Care PC has chosen to use the eClinicalWorks Cloud EHR to enhance patient care and operational workflows.

The cloud-based system will offer customisable templates, voice recognition, e-prescribing, integrated billing and reporting tools.

This transition allows the practice to streamline clinical processes, improve efficiency, and provide real-time access to patient information.

By leveraging eClinicalWorks Cloud, Best Medical Care aims to enhance patient outcomes, reduce costs, and increase staff productivity.

In addition to eClinicalWorks Cloud, the medical practice will leverage eClinicalWorks solutions such as healow CHECK-IN and Messenger to improve communication with patients.

Best Medical Care will also benefit from PRISMA, a health information search engine that consolidates patient records from various sources.

Best Medical Care chief operating officer Kamran Siddiqui said: “By transitioning to the eClinicalWorks Cloud, we have enhanced our workflows and are providing the best possible care to our patients.

“The Cloud offers limitless computer power, storage, and memory, and we no longer deal with the maintenance and costs of servers.

“The advanced capabilities and access to data at the point of care allow us to streamline operations and spend more time focusing on our patients, ultimately improving their health outcomes.”

eClinicalWorks provide tools for ambulatory practices, health centres, urgent care facilities, and hospital systems, assisting them in managing clinical documentation, revenue cycles, patient relationships, and population health initiatives.

Healthcare companies are hesitant to invest in the metaverse

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed the healthcare industry to rapid digitalization. Increased use of telehealth, telepresence systems, remote diagnostics, predictive AI, and wearable technology is changing how healthcare is delivered and improving patient outcomes. Emerging technologies such as AR and VR are becoming increasingly routine for professional training, surgical assistance, and treatment of psychological and neurological disorders. In the pharma and medical devices industries, AR, VR, and AI are rapidly accelerating drug discovery and manufacturing and generating supply chain efficiencies. New digital opportunities will look to build upon disruptive technologies. However, affordability is a limiting factor to widespread adoption. Per GlobalData estimates, the metaverse market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 33% between 2023 and 2030. Although metaverse technologies could reinvent healthcare approaches and bring new experiences to healthcare providers and patients, adoption is still at an early stage. There are currently few use cases in the healthcare industry. The metaverse needs to overcome major challenges for healthcare, including regulation and data privacy concerns. Evidence of proven use cases and participation by a critical mass of users are imperative to drive a shift in metaverse investment.
