Hi,
Most modern electronic medical record (EMR) software applications
provide physicians with customizable templates for data entry.
Physicians are presented with select lists covering their patients'
past medical and surgical history, family and social history,
medications and supplements taken, and previous diagnoses, and they
complete the record by pointing and clicking. They can modify select
lists to contain only conditions and medications specific to their
field of practice, or restrict them according to any other parameters
they choose.
Advanced features include pen-based entry using tablet devices, voice
recognition, and image and video storage.
Here are some examples of recently released software that has all of
the above features:

dialogs, made up from over 3,000 logical tabs, each of which includes
related documentation subjects which come populated with comprehensive
pick lists (see example below). Ergo is continually adding new tabs
and dialogs to enhance the language. Emeritus comes complete with this
unparalleled clinical content.
Unlike any other system, as soon as Emeritus is installed it is

exceptional detail. All HOL dialogs are organized into operation
groups and contain fully populated pick lists for rapid entry with the

comprehensive patient documentation can be entered quickly and easily.
Links directly between the HOL and standardized languages included
