Since its infancy in the 1980s, EMR, or Electronic Medical Records, software has come a long way. The packages available in the beginning were often expensive, unyielding, not incredibly user friendly and generally not very helpful in the business of medical practices. This stopped many from adopting EMR until now.

Some of the top EMR packages available today are able to manage all necessary aspects of a medical practice, creating outstanding returns on the initial investment within a very short period of time. One of the main driving factors in the increasing adoption of EMR is the reduction of medical image storage and management costs, due to the ability to store practice records and patient histories digitally.

Instead of rooms full of huge filing cabinets, requiring multitudes of administrative staff, technology now allows these records to be stored cheaply, easily and in multiple locations. As well as saving on storage and administration, it is possible to have full back-ups for records readily available in various locations.

This is particularly helpful in case of unfortunate events, such as natural disasters, fire or data-breaches. In addition, doctors, hospitals and pharmacies are able to exchange data, such as patient test results, queries on medication etc, via network links.

As a result, patient records can be updated instantly and doctors are able to see a patient’s full history without having to rely on the patient’s memory to get relevant details. Typing errors or misinterpretations of doctor’s handwriting by pharmacists, often resulting in serious impacts on patients health, as well as costs, can also be avoided.

To put it in short, EMR saves money by cutting down on storage space and staff costs, as well as saving time by allowing instant access to practice records, patient histories, test results and medication requirements.

What does it take to be a successful cosmetic surgeon? For starters, follow the career of one of the most famous and sought-after plastic surgeons in California, Dr. Darshan Shah, and take the medical education route, not cosmetology. It pays to have the medical discipline when wielding the scalpel on a patients face and not do a trial and error sculpting that is common among cosmetologists.

Dr. Darshan Shahs medical career is pretty much straightforward, starting with a combined 6-year BS/MD course which is now quite commonly offered in many universities. He got his in the 90s at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. And like any medical graduate taking an obligatory internship, he took his at the University of Californias Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield, specializing in surgery with a focus on breast cancer surgery. He then got his board certification as a general surgeon and a California medical license to practice in the state.

From there, it would seem that Dr. Darshan Shah has found his lifes vocation. He took a 2-year fellowship at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Missouri to further hone his reconstructive plastic surgery skills. He then got his certification from the American Board of Medical Specialties as a plastic surgeon. The rest as they say is history. The good doctor now works with two other doctors to operate and manage the Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center which has become famous for the remarkable results patients get from any of its services, ranging from simple BOTOX injections, dermal filling, tummy tucks, liposuction, facelifts and breast augmentation, to mention a few.
