Medical Photos made MD Logic Simple

For most doctors the option of being able to take medical photos is a welcomed idea but the steps involved in getting these photos to the patients electronic health record remains a cumbersome roadblock. Fortunately there is a company that has simplified the process and has made taking medical photos fast, efficient, secure and completely automated. As the leading U.S. provider of high performance EHR Smart Phone Apps, MD Logic offers the most efficient solution in automating medical photos.

Medical photos are helpful in many ways in medicine. One of the biggest advantages of medical photos is patients being able to see their before and after pictures. For example, a suspicious lesion may have been removed from a patient a week ago and the patient has arrived for their one week follow up appointment. The patient is complaining and stating the wound is not healing. The doctor is able to display the lesion before it was removed, just after it was removed and then take a picture of the lesion as it appears for today’s visit. That lesion is immediately updated in the patient chart and available for viewing. The patient is able to see the swelling has decreased and the healing process is normal for the first week post-op visit. If the advantages of utilizing medical photos are endless when it comes to patient care then why are the vast majority of doctors not taking medical photos in their clinic? The simple answer is that it takes too much time to transfer the photo from the camera to the EHR.

The typical steps involved include the following:

1. Take Medical photo
2. Pull Memory Card from Camera and insert to computer
3. or email photo attachment (HIIPA Violation as picture is not encrypted)
4. Upload the photos to the EHR
5. Select patient name in EHR
6. Select Chart Tab in EHR
7. Select Description of photo in EHR
8. Select Date of photo in EHR
9. File photo

With MD Logic the process is simple:

1. Open the MD Logic app on your smart phone
2. Select the patient name displayed on the appointment scheduling
3. Take the photo (The photo is immediately updated into the patients’ health record and into the appropriate chart tab with description and date of photo)

Thomas J. Bierster, Jr., CEO for MD Logic, shared “we have revolutionized the process of taking medical photos by simplifying this once tedious process. Most doctors don’t take photos but would if the process was simple. MD Logic users simply pull out their smart phones, open the MD Logic app and shoot the photo. The MD Logic Smart Phone App handles the rest for the customer. Our app encrypts the photo before sending to the EHR and then automatically updates the photo in the patient’s electronic chart. Our technology puts the "wow” back in Electronic Health Records.

“This is the 2nd generation app for MD Logic. It is one thing to offer an app but another thing to offer an app that is efficient to use and immediately accepted by the user. Last week I spoke to an Orthopaedic surgeon and asked him the impact the app has had on his practice. The Orthopaedic surgeon explained how he now takes photos of all his surgeries at the surgical center. He further explained to me that he is the only surgeon at the surgical center with technology allowing him to take surgical photos that are automatically updated into his EHR. He said that doctors are talking about the MD Logic app and to expect lots of calls for potential new customers.”
