The Eloquent Physician® is an Electronic Charting program which can be utilized to produce physician’s charts with amazing speed in many clinical settings.

An EMR (Electronic Medical Record) program is utilized to produce medical records in a physician's office, clinic or hospital based setting. Some EMR software programs contain advanced features such as electronic data exchange (EDI) between the EMR and a laboratory, radiology facility and/or pharmacy.

The Eloquent Physician does not contain these more advanced features. However, if your main interest is in producing ‘Eloquent’ medical records rapidly, you owe it to yourself to review the features of this program.

If you are looking for an EHR (Electronic Health Record) which can be accessed by patients over the Internet, for example, or a full featured EMR, please visit EMRConsultant.com.  At EMRConsultant.com you may enter the parameters that are most important to your medical group, and these will be compared with a database of EMR and EHR programs. EMR Consultant will then provide you with a list of Electronic Medical Records programs which it believes may suit your particular practice setting.

In the meantime, please review the following sample medical chart note. It is an example of the capabilities of The Eloquent Physician. To learn more, please call 1.800.245.2133.
