The Data Maintenance and Reports Main Menu provides access to all of the key forms and utilities that make the electronic health record creation process possible. As is the case with all Electronic Office menus, a single keystroke of a shortcut key easily takes you to the next form.

A common search form design throughout the Electronic Office modules allows for searching by patient name, date of birth, or account number. Electronic Office easily accommodates family accounts.

All patient demographic information is easily entered on the Patient Identifying Data form. Additional information, such as spouse, parent, and emergency contact information is quickly accessible from one of the pop-up forms opened from Patient Identifying Data. This form is the entry point for documenting each patient encounter for each condition for which the patient is being treated.

The condition list, which is opened from the Patient Identifying Data form, provides instant access to the patient's entire medical record. There is no limit to the number of conditions that can be documented for each patient, and each condition can contain an unlimited number of follow-up visits, Operative Records, Admission History & Physicals, Discharge Summaries, and various other file notes and communications. The only limit would be due to the size of your computer system's hard disk drive.

As diagnoses, current medical history, and past medical history information is entered into a patient's record, Electronic Office automatically maintains an up to date Comprehensive Problem List for that patient. This list can be viewed on screen or printed at any time either from the Patient Identifying Data form, or from within any medical record.

The Visit List for each condition is easily accessible from the Condition List, or from within any medical record. The Visit List can be used to open a patient's medical record to a specific visit in the database, or to quickly view the information in a Text Report Format.

The History of Present Illness (HPI) form is the first of six forms that can be used for creating a complete Office Visit and/or Admission History & Physical. All forms are easily controlled with simple keystrokes, shortcut keys, or by point-and-click, whichever method each user prefers. Just the top section of the HPI form is shown below. Every form within the patient's record has the pertinent patient, condition and insurance information at the top. The Significant Events List allows the medical professional to maintain a separate list of significant or noteworthy events relating to the current condition in one easy to read list.
