Welcome to Doctations.com, the Web site EMR system for physicians and healthcare professionals who are members of the DocPatient Network. If you are tired of the frustrations of missed phone calls, insufficient data at the time of the doctor-patient encounter, delayed lab results, awkward documentation technology, and other communication problems that impede patient care, you will be pleased with how Doctations can serve your needs.

As a patient, you know that your doctors are being asked to do more in less time than ever before and that this is not as doctors would have it. People become doctors to help those who are ill get well. However, as healthcare has grown more complex and less personal over the past decade or so, it’s increasingly easy to lose sight of this fact. Doctors have not. They are exceptionally frustrated that so many obstacles interfere with this central mission. The DocPatient Network was developed by doctors and patients who want to make things better and see a web based EMR as an effective tool for doing so.

The DocPatient Network aims to restore the personal relationship between doctors and patients that was common in simpler times, while expanding and liberating consumer access to healthcare by using the Internet to connect doctors and patients through secure electronic communications, both written and video. The DocPatient Network is dedicated to patients who want to use the Internet to securely share a single, complete set of information, or electronic patient medical record with their doctors, to be able to keep their own copy of their doctors reports online, to send email or video/audio message to their doctors with questions or problems, or to schedule or change appointments. All of this is enabled by the iMedicalHome.com PHR, your portal to the DocPatient Network.

Shared Patient Data Base (SPDB)

The shared patient database. is comprised of a specific set of data that almost every physician, regardless of specialty, must acquire, analyze and record when caring for patient (e.g., allergies, medications, social history, medical history, surgical history, vaccination history, review of systems, hospitalizations, etc.). This represents a substantial portion of the medical record and, in fact, constitutes more than 50% of the content of a new patient report and more than 33% of the content of a follow-up report on average. In addition to recording this data in a report, Doctations also stores this data in a separate database meant to be shared among providers, regardless of geography and healthcare organization. This is done only with explicit patient permission.

The SPDB includes data like medication allergies, social history, past medical history, surgical history, hospitalizations, medications, vaccination history, review of systems, etc.

Benefits of Shared Data

Shared patient data has massive benefits to both physicians and patients. Patients get served faster and more efficiently. One of the most attractive features of SPDB data is that it eliminates the need for patients to fill out their demographic information for every new provider they visit. And one of the most important features of SPDB data is that important medical paperwork like medical history, vaccinations, etc. are never lost or stolen, ensuring better care and reduced risk of medical accident. If you're concerned about the security risks of sharing your medical information with different providers, read on to the next section.
