Practice Info
Dr. Hassan Kafri is an interventional cardiologist in Chula Vista, CA who provides specialized care for the heart and cardiovascular system. Though Dr. Kafri had experience in paper-based documentation, he looked for an electronic health record (EHR) software to provide his practice with effective documentation and storage, cloud-based patient records, and cardiology-specific tools. Dr. Kafri eventually adopted PrognoCIS’ specialized Cardiology EHR in 2008, and has worked with PrognoCIS since. The tools of PrognoCIS EHR helped him provide his patients with exceptional care.
Transitioning to Electronic Documentation
“For me it was very intuitive and natural, to start using EHR. was an issue of accessing documentation and storage, and it seemed to be a very simple solution.”
Paper-based documentation, while once the norm, is error prone and leads to substantial costs with shipping, storage, and manual record keeping. Dr. Kafri was interested in a way to implement a paperless solution without impediments to his practice. With PrognoCIS, he found a simple, easy-to-use solution.
PrognoCIS EHR reduced costs associated with paper-based documentation: packaging and shipping costs, paper and toner use, and almost eliminating the potential for human error. It also improved workflow of his practice. Front-end staff did not have to deal with tedious financial paper work, and spent less time checking co-pay amounts, patient eligibility, and missing charges.
Facilitating Patient Care through a Cloud-based EHR
One of the benefits Dr. Kafri noted was the ability to access patient records from outside the hospital. This feature allows him to review patient records and communicate or share information with patients at any time.
Dr. Kafri uses PrognoCIS through the PrognoCIS iPhone app to access records: “ is really helpful when you’re at a restaurant, or at home…and call you for some advice. You can look at previous echo results, previous interactions, and your plan.”
The ability to view records anywhere is invaluable in situations demanding immediate access to patient data. Dr. Kafri benefited from the versatility of the PrognoCIS iPhone app. “The EHR, mainly, was for documentation, reducing or eliminating errors, and facilitating multiple office locations and chart access.”
“We get calls a lot. Sometime end up in the emergency room, there are always different problems, and call us, and they say, ‘what did your echo cardiograms show? said she had one in your office a few months ago,’ and if you’re not in the office in front of your computer, then will be very easy to access.”
