For Physicians
NetResults Introduction
Physicians at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health Care are enjoying quicker, easier access to patient information thanks to a new Web-based electronic medical record (EMR) service called NetResults.
The NetResults Application
Through NetResults, users have 24-hour access to patient records (including lab, microbiology and radiology reports), medication profiles, transcribed reports and all inpatient and outpatient visits to CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health Care. Information is accessed via the Internet through any computer that supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater.
NetResults is user-friendly, and very little training is needed to begin effectively using it. Plus there is no software to be downloaded.
NetResults provides a one-page summary covering several patients, as well as detailed information on a single patient. Other information provided includes "rounds," lists of hospitalized patients, room locations, face sheets for each patient, a list of all abnormal lab values, and lab results watch lists for selected patients. Physicians can also access reports for other physicians for whom they are covering (as long as they have authorized access).
This technology offers a variety of options to sort the data: by floor, nursing unit, facility, individual patients, inpatients or outpatients only, individual or multiple physicians, physician groups and types (such as primary care, admitting and attending). All reports can be printed from wherever NetResults is accessed.
