About ChartPort

ChartPort is a suite of software programs and utilities that add scanned document management and scanning capabilities to NextGen EMR. With ChartPort's "PaperPort to NextGen" link, you can scan patient documents (insurance cards, referrals, test results) and store them electronically in a patient-centric folder tree providing instant, shared access. These scanned patient files are accessible from within NextGen by placing a data grid on any of your custom templates, at which point they can be easily viewed or printed by pressing a button on the template. A listing of scanned documents is readily available by printing the information in the grid, using the NextGen Document builder.

But what about the paper ?

As a NextGen user, you know the benefits of electronic charting. But what about those necessary bits of paper that still flow through the practice? We’ve grown so accustomed to handling paper documents that we don’t realize the hidden cost associated with information gathering from paper. Time is spent retrieving paper documents, putting them back, hunting for them when someone else has them, or copying them for others. Additionally, over time, large amounts of physical documents accumulate, necessitating file cabinets and rooms to store them. The more documents, the more expense is associated not only with storage space but retrieval time.

Today’s obvious solution is to use the computer to access and store documents from a central repository. Electronic document access is instantaneous. Files can be shared by multiple users, copied, printed and transmitted all without leaving the desk. Frequently, a document can be located and a copy sent while talking on the phone, eliminating the need for a callback. And last but not least, electronic backups allow complete restoration of vital information in the event of a disaster.
