Through implementation of the Waiting Room Solutions EHR and PM, Downtown Atlanta Medical Center, P.C. will be able to reach its goals of reducing paperwork and increasing the fluidity of information transfer. There is an online patient portal and practice website, which will help forge a closer bond between patients and staff while also increasing efficiency. Through this portal, patients can register online, maintain their personal health record, schedule and confirm appointments, and more. Since patient health records are web-based, personal medical information can be securely accessed by both patients and physicians. Patients will also be able to use the portal to privately message with the office and their physician for appointment requests, billing questions, prescription refills, referral requests, and general questions. As a result of these features, the front desk will no longer have to process registration papers, copies of medical records, scheduling, and messages from patients, leading to a quicker transfer of information as well as a reduction in paperwork, faxes, phone messages and mail intake. Furthermore, the practice site will be customized with educational links relevant to the practice's specialty, providing additional resources for patients. In all, this online presence will increase patient satisfaction and will strengthen the bond between patients and their physicians.
