The PrimeCare Patient Management System (Electronic Health Record System) is user-friendly and interactive software that creates an electronic patient/medical record (EPR, EMR). The PrimeCare System uses an authoritative and comprehensive knowledge bank of approximately 285 symptom and problem-oriented patient history questionnaires, collectively containing over 100,000 chief complaint and disease state questions.

The current edition of the PrimeCare System (EMR) is an Internet-based edition that requires only a computer running any current version of Windows, and an internet connection. Installation requires only a few moments, and no sensitive data is permanently stored on the client machine. All patient information is securely stored in PrimeCare Systems, Inc.'s secure data center, available to authorized users twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, from any location with Internet access.

Patients interact directly with the PrimeCare System (EMR), during what is usually waiting time. A detailed patient history is obtained without taking any of the physician's time. Patients are seated at a computer and answer complaint-specific questions by using just the number keys to indicate answers that apply to them;no typing or computer skills are required. Even patients with NO computer experience find the software easy and satisfying to use. The EMR software also has bilingual capabilities, allowing Spanish-speaking patients to interact in their preferred language.

When the patient questionnaire is completed and a staff member has entered the patient's vital signs, the PrimeCare EMR creates a preliminary report for the physician to review before examining the patient. The preliminary report contains the patient's current problems, medications and allergies, all positive and significant negative subjective responses, vital signs and a list of diagnostic considerations triggered by the patient's responses. By freeing up the time physicians would normally have to spend asking patient history questions and recording responses, PrimeCare EMR permits physicians to see more patients in less time - without sacrificing quality of care.

The PrimeCare EMR is also easy for the physician to understand and use. Easy to use documentation templates let the physician document physical findings, assessment, treatment plan, medications prescribed and patient education materials provided. At the conclusion of the encounter a visit report, educational files and prescriptions are printed for the patient.

The PrimeCare EMR greatly enhances the productivity and efficiency of any practice by providing complete documentation for every encounter, while eliminating transcription and dictation costs. The physician's role as a "note taker" is eliminated. More hands-on time is available for diagnostic assessment and treatment, allowing up to two more patients to be seen per office hour. The PrimeCare EMR is successfully being used in practice settings where the patient mix is up to 80% Medicare/Medicaid.
