Boston-based Pri-Med has released a new EHR, one that aims to improve physician usability and better integrate in clinician workflow, according to a Boston Business Journal report.
Pri-Med joined forces with EHR provider Amazing Charts, whom Pri-Med acquired in 2012, and physicians from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston to develop its new EHR platform, a project that began in the 1980s, according to the report.
The new platform intends to be intuitive and predictive by learning a physician's prescription and EHR-use patterns.
"Part of the whole point is to improve the doctor experience and patient experience," said John Goodson, MD, a physician at MGH and associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston, in the report. "We've developed an interface for the physician that is easy to work with, intuitive, gets the work done quickly that allows data input in a straightforward way."
The EHR is currently being used in a test-case scenario before it is marketed more broadly to physician offices.
