Looking for an Athletic EMR System?
Player care has evolved. Has
Your EMR?
Health is about decisions, not just documentation.
Whatis an EMR?
Traditional Athletic EMR Systems were built to support the shift from paper to electronic medical records. These legacy systems supported basic documentation and compliance at a time when medical staff were isolated and largely reactive, focused on treating issues and getting players back on the field.
What’s Changed? Everything.
The role of the medical team, the importance of player care and the approach to player health, wellness and longevity are significantly different now:
Medical staff
are now an integral and integrated part of the high performance team.
Practitioners
are more proactive, looking for ways to reduce injuries and re-injuries and deliver better performing players.
Data, historically locked in EMRs,
is now recognized as the key to improving performance and health.
Player care is more sophisticated
involving more disciplines such as mental wellness, nutrition and more.
Player salaries have skyrocketed
increasing the financial impact of unavailability.
Player care is a differentiator
and can be a major factor in retaining and maximizing your most valuable players.
Comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach
to player care is the gold standard and the expectation.
The traditional athletic training EMR has not kept up with the new requirements for medical and high performance teams.
modern sports organizations
now require tools and data that support fast, objective and collaborative decision-making about player care and performance across all disciplines. Medical staff need a centralized and fully integrated Performance Medicine Solution capable of mobilizing diverse data streams, streamlining and automating workflows and yielding actionable intelligence to support critical performance and health outcomes.
Athletic Training EMRs
vs
Performance Medicine
How is Performance Medicine different from an athletic training EMR system? Take a look:
EMR
iP: INTELLIGENCE
PLATFORM
Purpose
Mobilizing data to power objective decision-making about player care and health
Audience
Point solution specifically for medical staff
Multi-disciplinary platform supporting cross departmental collaboration for Medical and Performance Staff, Coaches, and Administration
Usability & Speed
Cumbersome workflows that are time consuming
Intuitive user interface with easy to use, automated workflows that enable staff to spend more time with players
Scope of workflows
& data centralization
- Narrow scope focused on basic medical history, injury, treatment
- Data decentralized – large degree of medical data lives outside of the system
- Broad scope spanning administrative workflows, player workflows, and medical processes
- Data centralized – Large degree of medical data lives within the system
Adaptability
and Longevity
- Off the shelf and rigid, which organizations quickly outgrow
- Standalone, no ability to extend to other departments
- Configurable, easy to change and scale as your organization grows and evolves
- Part of an integrated Intelligence Platform that can be extended to Performance and Coaching Solutions enabling interactivity
Risk Management
Approach
Compliance and documentation centric
Broad risk approach including data security, secure data movement, compliance and documentation
