The modular approach is central to the TouchWorks solution. In the past, implementing a traditional electronic medical record (EMR) presented a real challenge: getting physicians to use the applications. The typical approach was an all-or-nothing proposition requiring physicians to switch from a paper-based to a computer-based process overnight. Additionally, this traditional, monolithic EMR took years to implement, created more work for physicians instead of less, and forced physicians to radically change their workflow overnight. As a result, most early attempts in implementing an EMR were not successful. Yet the potential for improving healthcare using an EMR remained. The market required a new approach. Enter TouchWorks.

The modular design of TouchWorks enables implementation of the functionality of the EMR that matters most to physicians in as few as 90 days. Focusing on physician workflow, the modular approach also manages the change from paper processes to the TouchWorks EMR, leading to higher physician utilization and a more rapid return on investment (ROI).

While TouchWorks is a full EMR and can be implemented as such, it also provides the option of using a modular approach that enables your physicians to adopt one or a few modules of the full solution first, get comfortable, and then add more functionality over time, progressing to a full EMR at your own pace.
