There are many reasons I’m excited about our new electronic medical record (EMR) system, but one aspect stands out the most for me: our EMR, MedConnect, gives us more tools to help manage our patients’ pain in “real time.”
MedConnect will help us keep better track of medications and how our patients respond to them. We can match the cause of a patient’s pain to the medication that will best reduce it. And, we can more readily search for alternative medications if the current option isn’t working.
Managing pain helps people heal faster.
And side effects? We want to manage them, too. MedConnect gives us tools to stay on top of the unpleasant side effects of pain medications, such as sleepiness, nausea, constipation and itching, so we can treat these symptoms.
I want our patients and their families to know that we are focused on timely, effective pain relief. Our doctors and nurses are committed to giving patients the best pain relief possible, while keeping the side effects to a minimum.
