Integrated electronic medical record (ieMR)
Replacing paper-based clinical charts, the integrated electronic Medical Record (ieMR) solution allows healthcare professionals to simultaneously access and update patient information. Vital signs are automatically uploaded to these records, triggering early warning alerts if a patient's condition deteriorates.
The ieMR delivers an integrated suite of digital health care services that improve safety, efficiency and quality in clinical workflow processes.
