Electronic Medical Records

An EMR, or electronic medical record, is a convenient way to process medical records in today’s business world. Databases are full of EMRs comprised of SOAP notes, billing information, medical history, and other relevant information. Electronic medical records must be carefully managed, backed up, and stored. They must also be kept secure.

Medical Practice Software

Medical practice software has helped to simplify medical billing process, allowing a streamlined database of EMRs along with access to medical codes. Medical practices are beginning to adopt this type of software in order to cut their IT costs and set up fees and adopt a month by month cost on a secured system. Information may then be accessed from any computer or PDA by authorized individuals. Medical billing specialists are trained in software programs such as these.

My blood pressure normally runs about 135 / 75. On aspartame or sucaryl daily for just one month my blood pressure rises above 165 / 90. If I go longer, say two months, it gets up to 175 / 100 range. This is dangerous territory indeed. My elevated blood pressure is just a little less violent to vitamins – but still too high.

Oooops! There's another important consideration to allergies. Its called "Climate"! My major allergies are to pollens. As a result, I do not fare well in dry climates and I absolutely thrive in a tropical environment – damper better. Other people thrive in a dry climate and need to avoid high humidity – dryer better.

The best way to get a handle on your allergies – if you have any and just what they are – is to consult an allergenist. Allergenists do not come cheaply, but they are well worth investment so far as your health is concerned. The next way to get a good handle on allergies is to experience them and document them and learn how to avoid them.

Your good health will be your reward for learning to cope with your allergies in advance, by avoiding them and staying healthy.
