SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DOCUMENTATION OF ENCOUNTERS AND COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING SAME

摘要

Systems and methods for documenting an encounter and communicating about same are described. The systems and methods of this invention generally comprise an electronic records system for creating and maintaining information in electronic records; a point-of-encounter system in communication with the electronic records system, wherein the point-of-encounter system allows a scribe to document the encounter into a predetermined electronic record; and a library of event-specific templates usable for documenting the encounter. The systems of this invention allow new dynamically-generated templates to be created and added to the library of event-specific templates as needed. These systems may comprise various other components, such as, a website comprising information about a specific event; an access system that is capable of allowing a user to view, create and store details in their own electronic record in the electronic records system; a communications system for providing information to recipients; a library of documents for communicating information to the recipients; a compliance system for identifying whether or not each electronic record is complete; and/or a purchasing system capable of allowing goods and supplies to be purchased via a website.
