user can include the Patient ID # of the currently selected patient with the command to open that application. Some ChartLogic EMR offices use this to open the selected patient's PACS images or other programs similar to PACS.

Each user can control whether they see Program Links on their User Dashboard. Each machine in the practice can also be setup with the specific link. To setup the links, select "Options" from the "Configure" menu in ChartLogic EMR. Expand the "Machine" group and select the "Program Links" section.

In the "1st Name" field, the name of the link can be typed as you want it to appear on the dashboard. For the "1st Path" field, click the ellipsis button […] to the right to browse to the program file. The user may also type the program file name (i.e. C:\Program Files\PACS\pacsviewer.exe). In the "Include Patient with Program Link 1" field, choose whether or not to send the Patient ID # with the link for that application. If "Yes" is selected, it will send a command to the computer such as "C:\Program Files\PACS\pacsviewer.exe 1234SS" (Program Path [space] PatID).

Not every program will allow command line functionality like this, and some might require it in a different format. As such, there may be additional complexities to this process. However, some programs do allow this feature to work and it is worth looking into if you have another program you often use. For additional information, please contact your Account Manager.

Management is now a one-screen solution with all pertinent information that is needed to work an outstanding balance displaying on the same screen. Contact the insurance or patient, send out a new or corrected claim or statement, and even note the account. Also, follow-up reminders can be set without switching screens in the collections module.

For additional information on how to setup and use the Collections Work Lists in ChartLogic PM, you can visit ChartLogic University, use the help file online, or contact your ChartLogic Account Manager directly.

The ChartLogic EHR solution which includes ChartLogic EMR and ChartLogic PM was implemented in 2006. In the search for an Electronic Health Record solution, Associated Urologists found ChartLogic to be the one EHR with the most advantages.

The staff loves the scheduling tool which features a fully customizable, templated system for appointment scheduling and the comprehensive collections center of ChartLogic PM. The physicians love the ability to dictate patient exams with ChartLogic EMR. Each patient encounter can be stored electronically along with elements such as Past Medical History, Family History, Social History, History of Present Illness (HPI), Review of Systems (ROS), Exam, Diagnosis, Assessment, and Plan. At the office, the patient data can be accessed easily by staff or if necessary, the physicians can access from remote sites.

When he is not working, Chris stays busy grilling on the grill - like Bobby Flay, attending education classes for his Business Management degree and going live to music performances. As an enormous music fan, he loves going to small shows, and large concerts with friends. He would like nothing better than to see a live performance every night of the week.

Chris began his career with ChartLogic in September 2005 as a support technician and then served as Implementation Manager and PM Manager before he accepted his current position. According to Chris, the best part of his job is hearing from happy ChartLogic clients; especially the clients that are so happy that they tell other people about ChartLogic.

Prior to ChartLogic, he worked for a small telecom company and a Cisco outsource company.

What gets Chris up in the morning? His answer, "The day; I am a morning person, so I've never found it tough to get up and "take on" the world each day."

Thank you, Chris for being a part of the ChartLogic team!
