Therefore, Many clinics and hospitals seek to capitalize on the increased efficiency and associated cost savings of Telemedicine and are consequently accelerating the implementation of their digital transformation.

How does Telemedicine work?

• Telemedicine is more than just a video call between the patient and the doctor. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) or Electronic Health Records (EHR) are used in advanced all care settings across the country.
• An EMREHR is essentially the equivalent of paper charts that have been used historically. It contains all the current and past clinical, social, billing, and family information for the patient’s current encounter; and, in many cases, previous encounters. Physicians, Nurses, and other Clinicians rely on the EMR\/EHR to be comprehensive and up to date.
• Telemedicine should include integrated clinical workflows, clinical documentation, analytics, optional session recording, diagnostic capabilities, and integration with EMR\EHRs for information exchange.
• Documentation should not only be stored within the Telemedicine platform, but it should also flow to an EMR\EHR when completed.

Current situation and a future with Wacom;
– a comparison

Current Telemedicine:

Doctors manually input a substantial amount of data with computer keyboards and computer mouses into the existing EMR systems. In order to insert comments on patient medical records or scanned images, Doctors often have to take a print,record their comments , scan and upload back into the system. Prescriptions are typed, printed and physically signed by the Doctor before being. Scanned and uploaded back into the system.

Future with Wacom:

Using Wacom Interactive Pen Displays, Doctors can mostly eliminate the usage of keyboards and mouses. Doctors can electronically capture handwritten comments on patient records(PDF, Jpeg or any format) with the Wacom pen Stylus. Doctors can discuss within the doctor community without printing and scanning a single sheet of paper. Prescriptions can still be handwritten on the pen display and authorized signatures can be electronically captured on any document.
