South Shore Skin Center Announces “Paperless” Practice

DATELINE: COHASSET AND PLYMOUTH, MASS… South Shore Skin Center, one of Massachusetts’ most progressive dermatology practices offering a wide range of medical, surgical and cosmetic services to a vast clientele south of Boston, has recently gone “paperless” and integrated an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system.

EMR allows the medical staff at South Shore Skin Center’s Plymouth and Cohasset offices easier access to patient data, 24 hours a day, seven days a week which is essential for patient history/case research and during a patient emergency. EMR enables faster transmission of patient data to a patient’s primary care physician or specialist. Electronic prescriptions may be sent to a patient’s pharmacy right from the office so they may be ready for the patient to pick-up after their medical appointment.

“With EMR, each patient’s file is at our fingertips. We’re able to send prescriptions to the patient’s pharmacist during the patient’s appointment. If a patient needs surgery, we’re able to quickly transfer patient data to the surgeon’s office. EMR drastically increases efficiency and eliminates the paper chase,” explained Dr. Richard Eisen of South Shore Skin Center.
