Electronic Medical Records

Over the last few weeks, White Bear Animal Hospital has been very busy instituting a new record keeping system called Electronic Medical Records or EMR. With EMR we will no longer be writing in our old paper charts, which means we will be consuming a lot less paper, doing our part to help the environment. All new information is now organized and stored in our computer system, including exam findings, treatment plans, prescriptions, lab results, radiographs, surgery reports, specialists' reports and email communications. This new system brings us up to the latest national standards regarding medical record keeping and ensures that our records are complete, accurate and legible. Now that we have a computer in each of the exam rooms, we can more easily review test results and radiographs with owners. Completed reports can be emailed to our clients for their records to keep them better informed regarding their pet's care. So please, bear with us as we make our way through this challenging transition and we look forward to serving you even better in the future.
