InteGreat's IC-Chart EHR Solution

InteGreat's IC-Chart solution and software modules manage clinical data, including transcription records, lab results and radiology reports, and capture patient health summary data (vital signs, medications, allergies, etc.). Patient data can be easily accessed from anywhere using an Internet web browser. The solution's modular design ensures that the most essential elements are implemented on time and on budget and that the system can be expanded on an as-needed basis.

IC-Chart's Features and Benefits

The easy-to-use IC-Chart application looks and functions like a physician's current patient charts, so integrating the solution into the physician's office workflow is natural and painless. Physicians typically need less than one hour to learn the system. Complexity increases as more functionality is added, yet the system's design makes each module easy to learn and use. More features and benefits are available at www.igreat.com/benefits.htm.

IC-Chart's Return on Investment

Physicians start seeing cost reductions immediately upon implementing InteGreat's solutions. For example, offices that rely on staff or outsourced transcription services will realize a 50 to 75 percent reduction in medical expense records after adopting EHR.
