Benefits of digitizing your medical records

In any health center or clinic where treatments or consultations are carried out, medical records are an essential tool to keep track of the work done with each patient over time.

Traditionally, these records have always been managed as paper documents, classified in filing cabinets and grouped by client.
If you have managed them this way in the past, you will know that, in addition to taking up more and more space as patient visits accumulate, they make them very difficult to consult, especially if you are looking for a specific piece of information.

Nowadays, it is increasingly common to digitize these records, and with TIMP you can have your medical records available without leaving the control panel.
This has many benefits, and if you are still managing your records on paper you are missing out on them all.

So follow our recommendation and switch to TIMP medical records.
We tell you everything you will gain from them.

TIMP’ s clinical records allow you to have a complete digital record of all the sessions you carry out with your clients.

This possibility offers you a great number of benefits, among which are an agile access to the records, the facility to download and export them when you need them or a greater security for the data you store.

Let’s get to know these benefits in detail.

In TIMP, each session you offer in the center is equivalent to a record in the clinical records.
And when you create records of the different sessions with your patients, you can save them in folders and organize them as you prefer: as histories, themes, cases…

This is very useful because not all sessions are the same, nor is the same type of treatment performed in all of them.
Thus, the possibility of creating different types of folders for your records allows you to store this information in a much more differentiated and accessible way.

In our digital medical records , data such as the date and time of creation of each record, which professional of the center created it and when that entry was opened or modified are recorded .

In addition, each of them has a modification history so that you can check when data was added or modified.

This makes it possible to expand the information if, for example, a patient later brings you a digital document related to a previous consultation -such as a scanned X-ray or a third party report in pdf- and you want to add it to the record of the corresponding day, stating when this new information was provided.

Having all this data makes your records a much more accurate and reliable source of information.

Although you can modify the clinical records as we have seen in the previous point, if in any case you need a record to be saved without future modifications you can enable a protection in this sense.

This way you make sure that, whenever you consult it, the information you saved on the first day will remain intact.

When you create the record of a query in your center, you want its format to maintain uniformity with the rest of the records you create, so that you know where each piece of data is located and you can always consult it quickly.

To achieve this, the ideal is to have a structured template with a form format, in which you find the usual fields for selection, text, date and time, etc.

Knowing this, one of the most attractive aspects of managing your medical records with TIMP is that you can customize these templates, adding or removing the fields you want and arranging them in the document as you see fit.

This way, your center’s medical records will always be at your fingertips.

Finally, it is a fact that storing medical records in digital format is a great advantage over physical format, but it is also true that sometimes it may be useful to have a certain record in paper or in an exportable digital file.

For this reason, with TIMP you can print the records in PDF format and also export them all in ZIP format to store them as you prefer.
