Chart Search enables clinicians to perform structured, medical concept searches of unstructured patient charts. Clinicians can search using either industry standard terms or free text across all documents and discrete results such as labs and vital signs in an individual patient’s chart.
Chart Search improves productivity by limiting the amount of time needed to search a patient’s medical record. Clinicians can semantically and securely search a patient’s EMR by author, location, medication, document type or name, which reduces errors and improves patient safety.
