NEW EMR being implemented.
Webster City Medical Clinic is pleased to announce the implementation of an electronic medical record system for our patients. This new technology converts patient’s paper charts into an interactive billing, storage and sharing electronic system, taking patient care to a new level of quality and efficiency.

The new electronic medical records (EMR) system allows for instantaneous, paperless access to patient records, facilitating quick and accurate communication and collaboration between specialists, primary care physicians and hospital facilities.

Nationally, health care experts agree that electronic medical records are essential to improving health care. Using EMR, your Webster City Medical Clinic caregiver has instant access to your complete medical history-illnesses, conditions, treatments, allergies, medications, test results, visits and referrals. All data is recorded by computer and can be retrieved only by authorized caregivers to ensure you receive prompt, safe, timely and confidential care based on the most current information available in your medical file.

The new EMR system allows physicians to prescribe medications electronically as well. Doctors can write prescriptions that are instantly sent electronically to the pharmacy of the patient's choice. Local pharmacies such as Hy-Vee and Thrifty White participate and the trend toward e-prescribing is growing rapidly nationwide. Government regulators and insurers also support the enhanced quality and safety of the system.

The entire process will take approximately 6 months to complete and will be implemented late summer.

We appreciate you corporation and understanding during this transition process.
