OpenEMR Modules

Overview

This page will list third-party modules.

Prescription Monitoring Program

Bamboo Health

Historically, prescribers and pharmacists were tasked with logging into state databases to retrieve controlled substance dispensation information before writing or filling a prescription, consuming valuable time that could be better spent with patients.

PMP Gateway delivers full transparency into prescription drug monitoring program data.

Patient Check-in Mobile or Kiosk

This module will give offices the power to have patients check in from their mobile devices or a tablet mounted in the lobby area.

Once the module is installed, there are a couple of ways to utilize this module.

Whether your system is accessible from the web or is just a local install. This module will work. To secure access to the patient's chart, we require patient's name and DOB. This is checked in the system and there is an active appointment on the calendar. If there is no active appointment on the calendar. The patient is routed to the see the front desk. If there is an active appointment on the calendar, the appointment status is changed to "Arrived". The patient is prompted to verify their name and address information before exiting the app. We have had other requests to have the patient to verify insurance information. If the insurance information needs updating, the patient is prompted to upload a picture of their insurance card into the patient's chart.

The cost of the module is $300.

The use case for this module is these.

• Create a QR code and place it in the lobby area with a sign that reads check-in here.
• Have a tablet in the lobby that is bound to the site link. Instruct patients to check in at the Kiosk.

To see it on your mobile device go to Mobile/Kiosk Check-in Contact sherwin@affordablecustomehr.com for more details on how to obtain this module.

Patient Filter Module

This module is a basic implementation of the Original Patient Privacy module. Enable the module by going to Modules->Manage Modules. Find the Patient Filter module in the Unregistered tab and Register, Install, and Enable it. Then find the blacklist.php file under the interface/modules/zend_modules/module/PatientFilter/config directory which must be customized for your use.

Scripts

Chart Review

There is a CLI script under contrib/util/chart_review_pids.php which can aid in remote chart reviews by an insurance company. Run the script and use the output to update the above-mentioned blacklist.php

SMS

Two-Way SMS Module

This module will allow your office to engage the patient via a two-way SMS conversation. The text message is sent from the EHR to the patient. The text messages can be initiated from within the EHR interface. The staff can make first contact to facilitate communication with a patient. Your staff can also send out a mass text. This feature is great when a group of patients needs to be contacted.

Staff Alerts

Custom None Clinical Alerts

We were asked to develop a simple patient alert system separate from the clinical alerts. The clinical alerts can be very difficult to learn and use. Clinical does not fit all use cases by design limitations. This is release number one for this simple alerts module. Watch the video to see how it works. Contact me at sherwin@affordablecustomehr.com if you are interested in this module.

Documentation Alerts

This solves the issue of documents not being filled out at the proper interval. This popup reminder is automatic. Set the document and the interval in which it needs to be filled out. The popup shows in the patient's chart after the first document is filled out. To get this module email sherwin@affordablecustomehr.com

Storage

AWS S3 Storage

We've created an additional method for storing patient files in an S3 bucket, enhancing system flexibility. Separating file storage from the application can significantly improve performance and streamline upgrades. If you are interested in this module, PM us through the forum @juggernautsei.
