Middle School / High School / Any School EMR - The Importance of Documentation

We all know the reasons why it’s important to thoroughly document, but incase you forgot, here they are:

• Maintain accurate, up-to-date information about patients at the point of care.

• Provide continuity of care across medical providers.

• Improve patient and provider interaction and communication.

• CYA in the event of litigation.

• Means of data collection to help with decisions on staffing, budgeting, inventory, facility needs, etc.

However, with limited budgets, a costly EMR system isn’t a priority for many secondary schools. Which leaves ATs to come up with and implement their own documentation strategy, e.g., writing on the back of a gauze pad. 

Put that gauze pad away, we got you. 

The Go4 app has the only HIPAA compliant, youth-sport focused Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system.

It’s built right into the app and it’s free to use. 

• Document injuries from anywhere.

• Securely share a PDF of your evaluation with patients and their guardians to ensure continuity of care if physician follow up is needed.

• And CY that A!

So, if you haven’t already, download the app. And if you have, click the EMR button and start documenting.
