Announcements

As you probably know, the age of electronic health records is upon us. We have always considered ourselves to be “cutting edge” and technologically savvy…attributes that benefit you and us.

That said, during the month of June 2011, Loudoun Physicians for Women will be introducing our new electronic health record system, MedicsDocAssistant by Advanced Data Systems. They are the same company whose system we’ve been using for your scheduling and financial information for the past 9 years.

There may be a need to lighten our appointment schedule a little for the first few months to allow the providers and staff to learn the “ins and outs” of the new system. In the long run, however, it will allow us (and you!) to have much better access to your health information in an effort to help guide your care in the most efficient and comprehensive fashion possible.

Two important features of the new electronic health records system will include our ability to prescribe medications electronically to your preferred pharmacy and for us to have remote access to your medical records, virtually from anywhere.

The new MedicsPortal feature in MedicsDocAssistant will allow you to enter / update your health history, allergies, and demographic / insurance information from home or from any internet connection 24x7x365. You will also be able to make online appointments and request prescription refills.

We will send you secure electronic appointment reminders and test results. As time goes by, our goal is to alert you to specific recommendations for preventive screenings, potential drug interactions, etc. and to communicate seamlessly with your other healthcare providers.

Shortly, you will find a link on our homepage to the MedicsPortal. Your first-time access will allow you to create a username and password.

Thereafter, a non-specific alert will be sent to you via your regular email directing you to login through our portal to access any secure messages from / to us about you.

Patients not using the portal will have to continue coming to the office in advance of their appointment to allow time for data entry and update of their charts by our staff. Other delays regarding prescription refills, notification of test results, etc. may also be experienced by patients who do not use the portal.

Obviously, emergency communications should continue to take place via telephone / answering service for the most timely response.

The idea behind MedicsDocAssistant is to eliminate additional paper and files by replacing them with secure electronic charts. Please bear with us as we make this important transition in our Leesburg and Sterling offices to better serve you and your family’s healthcare needs.
