“I have sent prescriptions to pharmacies on weekends and while traveling. I like the convenience of being able to address important needs when I’m away from my office.”

Dr. Janice Harada, MD

“With the paper chart, you have to flip back and forth to look for old lab results, old notes, old x-rays. All of that is a bit time-consuming ... Electronic health records will save you time in the long run ... you’ll do a lot more in the designated time you have to see patients.”

“EHR ensures that specialists get the information they need. When I send them information, it’s quick, and I can always be confident that the record is complete.”

Dr. Scott Miscovich, MD

“EHR has brought about a full paradigm shift to the way we practice. There are not many things in a practicing physician’s career that can influence the way your day goes and the way you practice medicine like an EHR.”

“I have talked to other physicians who’ve said that implementing an EHR can be one of the worst experiences in your life. ...But the staff at TeamPraxis was able to adjust my training session towards our specific practice environment. They were flexible enough to make that happen. I give them high marks for that.”

Dr. Carla Nip-Sakamoto, MD

“Patient documentation is more complete with EHR. I know my patients far better than I’ve ever known them.”

“Electronic medical records have allowed us to be much more thorough in our documentation. We are more effective communicators with everyone who is involved in patient care. This enables us to be more comprehensive in what we do for our patients.”

Dr. Alan Oki, MD

“When you are contacted for critical information by other physicians, the notes are readily available at the office or at home. Bottom line: improved efficiency and better patient care.”

“TouchWorks EHR greatly increases the efficiency of your practice. Your medical assistants no longer waste time pulling or filing charts. This will free up hours of time for your staff.”

“I used to carry 40 pounds of charts between two offices; now I carry my laptop. Before switching to TouchWorks, I had considered long-term storage for my charts. Instead, we shredded 32 boxes of charts recently. That's a load off my back.”

“I've used the EHR in the hospital, at home, on Maui and in Las Vegas. I've used it on a house call. I don't have to rely on my memory to make a clinical decision when I am away from the office.”

“I had investigated several EHRs over the years and found their functionality did not justify the cost. They also were not fully backed by an established local vendor. TouchWorks provided a flexible and powerful EHR supported by TeamPraxis. They have been wonderfully responsive to our needs.”

Dr. John Houk, MD

“I had been researching EHR solutions for 15 years. I decided to implement the Allscripts solution because it’s an integrated product that is supported by a reliable vendor and is affordably priced.”

“The prescription function saves timeand reduces errors.”

“Through scanning, we’ve gotten rid of our bulky charts, and the office is more efficient.”

“The task function saves a tremendous amount of paper and improves our office workflow. Phone messages are accurate, organized and legible. It’s now easier to respond to calls.”

“EHR helps me manage chronic diseases more effectively. All the information I need is at my fingertips.”

Dr. Don Matsuura, MD

“It was time for a change. Our office was getting cluttered with charts, and going paperless seemed to be the most sensible solution. With EHR, there is less paperwork, fewer chart pulls, less photocopying, and speedier acquisition of data.”

“E-prescribing eliminates phone calls, facilitates medication record documentation, and patient prescriptions are more accurate.”

“The Note function is so convenient that I can enter information directly into the chart quickly and easily. Also with the incorporation of customized templates, EHR can be tailored to each individual style.”

“Electronic retrieval of laboratory results saves time, and we can address patient needs sooner.”

Dr. Brit Reis, MD

“I had taken over a practice that began in the ‘60s.  The charts were difficult to manage and it was time-consuming to retrieve patient information. This delayed patient care. EHR has improved communication with my staff and patients. Patients are now receiving better-quality care.”

“I would recommend EHR to other practices. I can't imagine not using an EHR. The tasking function has improved intra-office communication.”

“As a pediatrician, I found the immunization tool helpful because we can print the information quickly and see whether it's up-to-date. This is a timesaver.”

Dr. Gail Nakaichi, DO

“I had seen practices with storage issues. I didn’t want to be in a practice for a number of years and have to convert a plethora of data to an electronic system. It’s a good idea to start using an EHR system while your practice is fairly new.”

“I like how TouchWorks graphs our pediatric patients’ weight, height and head circumference. It also calculates the Body Mass Index, which is important in combating the childhood obesity epidemic. Also, TeamPraxis has been able to implement changes in the system based on recommendations I had made.”

Dr. Frederick Harada, MD

“This EHR solution provides a range of convenient features. Phone conversations are included in the patient chart. The Note feature lets me edit previous charts as well as copy information forward into new charts. I can fax prescriptions directly to the pharmacy and keep track of all patient prescriptions and refills. Lab information is imported directly into patient charts.”

“I can easily recommend this EHR solution to other physicians. By eliminating handwritten notes, the information is always legible so there is less room for human error. This solution has allowed me to manage patient information more quickly and effectively.”

Dr. Jason Lam, MD

“Before TouchWorks, I had to tell patients to wait for me to find their charts. Now, all I need is the patient's name. TouchWorks has cut costs for my practice. I don’t need to hire more filers. TouchWorks has eliminated handwritten notes, which used to slow my staff down. My practice uses less paper and runs more efficiently.”

“Patient histories are comprehensive and quick. At a glance, I can see if the patient had a flu shot, has labs, or whether the patient received samples. My staff has gotten used to not writing everything down or filing information. The process is faster now, and they are happier because of it.”

“I would definitely recommend TouchWorks. Information is the key to better patient care. Touchworks allows me to organize a large amount of information. ... Touchworks helps with effective communication between specialists. Communication is made easy through the Touchworks electronic medical records application.”

Dr. Jason Ninomiya, MD

“I didn't want to start on a paper-based system then five years later, go back and scan charts. I wanted to avoid spending twice on extra memory and manpower. TouchWorks just fit my needs.”

“Another reason I went with TeamPraxis was the local support. This is another thing I push to my friends in the industry. We use the Help Desk a lot for those little annoyances. For instance, we had our floors waxed the other day and our printers were disconnected. We called Help Desk, and they reconfigured everything for us in just a few minutes.”

“The application training went well. TeamPraxis listened to what we wanted and only covered what we needed. The one thing I worried about was being dropped right after our implementation, but every time I call, TeamPraxis is willing to answer our questions and help with templates.”
