Global Hospital & Healthcare Management

CureMD officially launched the world’s first DRT (discrete reportable transcription) enabled EMR that directly places clinical notes in a physician’s pre-designated EMR template. CureMD’s DRT enabled EMR/PM solution eliminates major causes of EMR failure by 80%, reduces physician data entry time by 77% and decreases deployment and training costs by 60%.

DRT as opposed to a conventional transcription service offers a unique value proposition by providing all the benefits of a full EMR, without changing the way physicians see their patients. Physicians spend a huge amount of time, money and effort in transition to a paperless practice involving hours of data entry, employee training, hardware and software installations and scanning paper notes. Instead, DRT places completed notes into the desired EMR templates overnight. This way the information becomes a part of the patient chart that can be used for analysis, trending, quality reporting and PQRI etc.

Using DRT, providers simply call a toll-free number and either speak or play their dictations which are transcribed overnight into the EMR templates for review and electronic transmission to billing, while saving time and effort spend in inefficient manual processes. More importantly, the transcription comes back into the EMR as discreet clinical findings, thus improving clinical documentation, coding, and outcomes. DRT is extremely useful when implementing new EMR.

Kamal Hashmat the current CEO of CureMD elaborates that, All the literature points to the failure of EMR; at CureMD we keenly understand the solution lies in physicians continuing to be physicians, not data clerks. By using DRT, healthcare has been facilitated to effectively transition towards complete EMR utilization without compromising patient care, practice workflow, or hampering the implementation process. DRT has already proven to be a success with hundreds of users and we look forward to sharing how DRT and the CureMD all-in-one solution can truly transform the healthcare community

With no dictation hardware or software maintenance, CureMD offers more features, more secure accessibility and more affordability than any other EMR/PM product in the industry. Over 5,000 physicians are now using the system enabling them to maximize returns by at least 30%.
