What is an EMR?
EMR stands for Electronic Medical Records. An estimated 80% of primary care physicians and specialists use an EMR in Canada today. Advanced use of EMRs can improve health outcomes, patient confidentiality, and patient safety through preventive care and chronic disease management.

Custom Environment
The only way to ensure student proficiency is by having a custom EMR environment. Each student represents a different healthcare provider, each with their own patient list.
8 Modules
Our EMR Accelerator program includes 8 EMR modules. Each module has a series of assignments, tests, answer keys, support articles, and videos.
Support
Our clients have access to extensive online learning and teaching resources including video trainings. We are also available to support you in delivering a world class education experience.

3 ) Scheduling - Create and manage patient appointments, reason for appointment, billing codes, location/room, and outstanding patient related tasks. Manage cancellations, no shows, and waitlists to maximize practice revenue.
