Modern medicine is based on the close interaction between professionals and technology, as the digitalization of clinical processes allows for optimized operations. Indeed, suppose you look even more profound. In that case, one of the main trends in modern medicine is an emphasis on evidence-based medicine, where the main criteria for treatment are not the personal opinion of the doctor or nurse practitioner or their experience but the results of instrumental analyses, diagnostic tests, and screenings. Because such volumes of information must be stored, efficiently processed, and visualized to read the data correctly, the use of computer technology in the workplace is fundamental to modern clinical practice (Hebda et al., 2018). One of the most frequently used and sought-after technologies that have become part of the daily professional routine is electronic medical records (EMRs).
Specifically, in my workplace, we routinely use the Praxis EMR system, which combines all the basic features of electronic patient records. Praxis EMR significantly streamlines communication between those involved in therapy, whether the doctor, the practice nurse, or the lab uploading patient results to the profile. This optimization helps reduce the time it takes to search and compare data and virtually eliminates human error. Unlike some competitive applications, Praxis EMR is not based on generic templates and clinical clichĂ©s, so it does not propose specific diagnoses but instead draws conclusions and assumptions based on statistical and subjective information about the patient (PRAXIS, 2022a). Thus, the Praxis EMR information system can be categorized as a telecommunication and medical technology type since it solves the key research problems in these areas. From a telecommunication technology perspective, Praxis EMR offers solutions related to Praxis agents, which are learning messengers. (PRAXIS, 2022b). With such messengers, it is possible to ensure seamless communication with both clinic and laboratory colleagues and the patient himself, regardless of the distance between you. For example, Praxis EMR helps me keep regular communication with patients temporarily away in other countries or on vacation, which significantly improves engagement and communication security. On the other hand, Praxis EMR is a medical information system because it stores and processes clinical information (PRAXIS, 2022a). For example, I do not need to check the charts and quantitative test values myself because the artificial intelligence of Praxis EMR allows me to do this automatically and reliably by suggesting assumptions based on statistical analysis. Praxis™ is fully responsible for the efficient operation of the EMR: the platform is powered by the brand’s servers, and the 24×7 support team is available to solve any problems.
