Useful Configurations
As an extension of the previous instructions about necessary OpenEMR configurations let me add this section of optional but very useful system modifications.
OpenEMR has yet another tier of configurations which are not required for the EMR to work properly. However, if you do have them set up they significantly streamline clinical workflows and add valuable capabilities. These features all fall short of needing actual programming skills but they do require an awareness of computer interface editing principles, and in any case (like the previously described items) must be performed by an OpenEMR Administrator. The instructions to implement these features will be given but not explained in detail, so if you don't have the requisite IT background they may not make sense to you.
These features are:
- CPT and Custom codes to automate data entry into the Fee Sheet of treatment and diagnosis codes
- Patient Finder - lets you search for patients by preferred terms
- Search - Add Patient - enforces minimum required data for new patient records
- Patient Privacy Module - tightly restricts user access to patient records
- Address Book - for the practice's OpenEMR users and for the business accounts with which the clinic interacts
Follow the links to read about the features.
