Praxis EMR Review

A very prominent feature of Praxis EMR is the application and operation of the so called Agents. Agents function as AI messengers that enables doctors and physicians to do quick charting and send reminders to their staff. Agents are built into patient’s notes and they automatically store and access patient  information and any pertinent medical data whenever the physician encounters a new patient but with a similar case. They operate based on the concept that cases can be classified into three types which are identical, similar but not identical, and rare. Hence, Agents would generate all the previous information and medical records that can be applied to the new patient making them instantly available for charting. Furthermore, they can be activated to trigger reminders to staff for schedules and since they are intelligent messengers, they would know when to deliver a message, to whom it will be sent, and on what conditions they will be perform a task.

This software also allows accessing of Clinical Practice Guidelines which are made of rules and recommendations that physicians used in determining the diagnostic tests and treatment plans for their patients. Through the query engine and data mining tools of the software, users can easily develop queries without the need of technical knowledge. It is capable of applying both retrospective and prospective queries. In retrospective queries, users can easily  access the appropriate recommendations depending on patient type which is based on demographic criteria, results of laboratory data, results of clinical parameters, medications taken, ICD-10s and CPTs.

Meanwhile, since the software aims to accommodate the different and unique practice styles of doctors, when users introduce new recommendations that are not based from retrospective queries but rather he or she finds them appropriate for a particular case or patient, Praxis EMR would store this recommendation for prospective queries. Hence, it allows medical practitioners to improve their practice and deliver the best medications or treatment plans to particular cases or patients whether they are are rare or identical.

Another feature of Praxis EMR is its Knowledge Exchanger, Through this feature Praxis EMR users can share their knowledge-bases with their experts peers who are also using the software as well as learn from the practice of others. This feature allows users to read those units of thought that are imported from an auxiliary library yet still maintaining their own knowledge base. They can use the content of these knowledge bases entirely or select only a part of them which they can adapt and add up to their own methodology and documenting process. With this feature, the art of practicing medicine is enhanced through the collaborative effort of providers.
