We are a small group practice with three family doctors and are considering whether to start using openemr and replace our current EMR.
At present we are using an MS access based programme called Soapware and I need help to replicate some features before deciding on moving. I also need optimisation of my installed version and maybe some bug fixes.
Problems:
Prescriptions:
I need to enter custom list of medications I frequently prescribe rathter than relying on internet based lists
I need to be able to print precription on A5 paper and customise the header of the prescription depending on the doctor that is logged in
Laboratory results
Lab results are available to me in the form of a csv table, in my present setup, I paste into my present EMR and also paste results in a standard template which I then send a copy to patient usually by post.
I therefore need to easily import results into openEMR as well as produce a printout which can be sent to patient…that is I would need a printout with the patient demographic details and I would need to somehow enter the result and print.
Radiology report.
I need to be able to paste report from my email copy to openEMR
Certificates/ reports
I need to be able to have a number of templates for standard certificates where basically the text is standard and demographic data is taken from the patient data - I need to be able to easily generate new templates and the certificates (or reports) can be edited and printed
Communication
I know that OpenEMR can send messages through Twilio and similar.
Now I have my own SMS Gateway - I need OpenEMR to be configured so I can send messages through my gateway
I understand that there will probably be need for customisation. How do I get in touch with software providers who might help sort out these issues? Where could I start?
Thank you
