 | | There are 36 residents, 11 family physicians, three obstetrician/gynecologists, one pediatrician, six mid-level providers and a nurse midwife on staff, and all can access the EMR using a wireless connection from any of the sites and from the community hospital. |
 | | For instance, the physicians at the clinic wanted to increase their standard of care for their diabetic population, so they built a protocol into the EMR that would check how much time had lapsed since a diabetic patient had last had a lipid screen and a hemoglobin A1c test. |
 | | Often the reason is that the physician forgot to record something he or she had asked the patient, so the physician makes the adjustments and bills for the more advanced visit. |
