There is a blog (not endorsed by this wiki or anyone on the wiki to my knowledge)
which has a set of questions about an Electronic Medical Record ( [[EMR~|EMR]] ).
The URL for the blog questions is: http://electronic-medical-record.blogspot.com/2007/06/considering-emr-or-ehr-software-system.html

Considering an EMR or EHR Software System?
Clinical Management Features to Consider

If you are thinking about buying an electronic medical record (EMR) or electronic health record (EHR) software system for your physician practice, make sure you do your homework. Even the most affordable medical software systems require a few thousand dollars of your money, making it important that the software you select meets your expectations.

Following are some of the clinical management features you should consider before deciding on a medical or practice management software system. If the EMR or EHR vendor doesn't discuss one of these features, it's a good idea to ask them yourself.

[[1. Does the EMR software have the ability to enter all demographic and registration information in Practice Management System and transfer it to EHR without any data entry needed into EHR?]]

[[2. Can the user customize the patient demographic fields to display any number of Practice Management System fields to the clinician?]]

[[3. Can the physician or medical support staff quickly and easily switch from one patient record to another?]]

[[4. Is it possible to organize the screen and to customize tabs or modules according to user preferences?]]

[[5. Does the EHR software have the ability to display a patient summary or “face” sheet, including patient demographics, problems, medications, allergies, health maintenance, encounter listing, patient tasks, recent encounters, patient picture, and personal profile?]]

[[6. Will the EMR display and manage health maintenance alerts including chronic disease reminders per patient?]]

[[7. Does the EHR system notify to physician of critical lab and other test results for immediate attention, with a prioritization alert?]]

In Office Medication Dispensing

[[8. Does the medical software system check each orderable item for medical necessity and duplication?]]

[[9. Can the physician fax or electronically transmit prescriptions to the patient's pharmacy?]]

[[10. Will the EMR automatically alert the user when a prescription conflicts with a documented allergy, or when one prescription medication conflicts with another?]]

[[11. Does the EMR/EHR have the ability to easily search and report on prescribed medications in case of a drug recall?]]

[[12. Is the EMR/EHR software recommend best practice(s) based on current medical literature?]]

The right electronic medical records software system can save a physician practice time and money, while also improving patient outcomes. But it's important to ask the right questions when doing your homework. Later this month, we'll outline clinical documentation features to consider.
