"Our goal is to be the premier OB-GYN practice in our area by utilizing the latest technology and enhancing patients' experience while providing the highest standards of care. By utilizing digiChart, our practice operates more efficiently, and I have unlimited access to complete patient information when and where I need it. Most businesses today, large or small, use technology to manage complex and voluminous amounts of information to improve workflow, profitability and customer satisfaction. Physician practices need not be the exception and should take advantage of the tools available that assist in providing even better care to their patients,” said Dr. Kevin Waddell, of Women's Center of Beaumont, LLC in Texas.


digiChart OB-GYN is a OB-GYN-specific electronic medical record that enables consistent and accurate documentation of patient encounters which drives proper reimbursement for services provided and reduces risks to physicians and patients, said Charlotte Adams of digiChart Inc..

digiChart includes an integrated, licensed American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) Antepartum Record within the electronic medical record and allows comprehensive documentation across the continuum of care for obstetrics patients. A web-native product, digiChart OB-GYN is accessible from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, allowing physicians to remain in control of patient care whether at home, the hospital or abroad. With its data driven design, data entry is consistent and streamlined and extensive reporting options are available to allow greater transparency into patient and financial outcomes, she said.

"Physician practices often delay the purchase and implementation of an electronic medical record and practice management system, because of the financial and operational disruption they believe it will cause in the practice. Use of digiChart offers the opportunity to increase revenues and decrease overhead costs for OB-GYN practices,” said Dr. G. William Bates, president and chief executive officer, digiChart, Inc.

“We minimize disruption during the implementation process by offering a user friendly application that eliminates template building and complicated server installation and maintenance. The strength of digiChart is in our specialty focus and the breadth and depth of OB-GYN content provided to the practice on day one," he said.
