Is your EHR Flexible Enough?

By AxiomEHR | January 13, 2020

We understand that each of our health care customers is unique, and for this reason, we know that EHR software shouldn’t be built as a “one size fits all” solution.

That’s why Axiom, powered by HiMS, is designed for flexibility. Here are just a few of the reasons why we built Axiom with flexibility in mind, as well as a few of the other considerations that are important to us.

1. Customizing saves time

Data entry is part of the job, but if you can’t access the forms you use every day in two clicks or less, this is a major indicator that your EHR solution is lacking in much-needed flexibility. When we built Axiom, we considered the “two clicks or less rule” in everything we created. When you can customize your interface and build forms to meet your needs, you save time. Customizing your EHR leads to increased efficiency, happier employees, less paperwork and ultimately better patient care.

2. Medical trends and concerns change constantly

Many of the psychological concerns prominent today, like the influence of social media, the rise of anxiety and depression and handling the adverse effects of information overload, weren’t as front-and-center 10 years ago. This is another reason why EHR tools need to be flexible—the medical landscape is constantly changing. As new concerns and trends emerge, health care practices need the ability to garner sufficient data to better treat their behavioral health patients.

3. Flexibility shouldn’t cost you more money

Many EHR companies claim they’re customizable, but then nickel-and-dime you for everything. At HiMS, we think of flexibility at the core of Axiom. We’ve also created a drag-and-drop form builder that makes it easy for you to make changes and create new forms on your own. If an EHR can only be customized or updated by having to contact technical support – it’s not flexible enough.

4. Flexibility must also equal ease-of-use

We believe that flexibility means nothing if your EHR is difficult to use. We want your EHR to work for you and make your life easier at every stage. Axiom was designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, because what good is an EHR if your staff can’t figure out how to use it?
