Family Practice: Holistic Care Without Trade-offs

From treating and managing medical concerns covering annual checkups to the treatment of common chronic conditions, family medicine—or family practice—is the backbone of the nation’s growing healthcare system. These specialists provide continuing, comprehensive, and holistic health care for individuals and families of all ages. As an inherently interdisciplinary specialty, family medicine specialists provide care that spans the biological, clinical and behavioral sciences and often work in private institutions or with a group of other family practice physicians to provide the best quality of care to their patients. Family Medicine or Family Practice is the backbone of our nation's healthcare system, and is one of the few points of Physician contact for patients with all medical concerns covering annual checkups, health maintenance, immunizations, health risk assessments, and treatment of common chronic conditions.

Treating some of the most common diseases and caring for such a breadth of patients, Family practice physicians often face packed schedules that force them to make trade-offs between healthcare delivery and the cultivation of the physician-patient relationship. Template-based EHRs, which are often rigid and time-consuming, exacerbate this trade-off by decreasing charting efficiency and directing time away from critical physician-patient engagement time. In fact, physicians who use traditional EHRs often spend twice as much time with their EHR as they do with their patients. Unequivocally, patient care shouldn’t be about trade-offs and a physician’s EHR should reflect such notion. Family practice physicians, who specialize in holistic and interdisciplinary care, not only deserve a charting system that is intuitive, fast, and adaptable to their individual workflow, but also a modern, adaptable EHR that is prepared to meet the demands of their growing specialty, without demanding any sacrifices to their holistic mission.
