Blue Heron's EMR software

About Blue Heron:

Since 1998, health-care researchers, clinicians and administrators across North America have been using Blue Heron's software and support services. The company's flagship offering is BlueHeron.MD, a comprehensive EMR and clinical-decision design system that is complemented by a variety of on-line tools.
 
"User feedback is always welcomed. All our comments and suggestions are listened to and built into the program. I believe that Blue Heron has such a strong ease-of-use philosophy that it's not going to disappear over time."
– Dr. L. S., MD

BlueHeron.MD allows healthcare professionals to run their practices more efficiently so they can see more patients, provide better care and increase their clinic's revenue. Originally developed by a physician, and expanded with the help of healthcare professionals from multiple disciplines, BlueHeron.MD's host of useful features, flexibility, intuitive interface and proactive notification system make the program exceptionally easy to learn and use.

You shouldn't have to work to understand how a software program works – it should understand how you work. That's the philosophy Blue Heron was founded on, and we stick to it.

As a healthcare provider, your time is better spent with patients, not dealing with software issues.

 

That's why BlueHeron.MD is designed to make the information you need easy to find and manage – whether it's a list of a patient's medications, available appointments or clinical notes from a patient's previous visit. A physician designed the original version of BlueHeron.MD to reflect the way physicians worked and thought. Since then we've continued to improve the software through feedback from active physicians, professional user-interface specialists, clinic support staff and other healthcare providers so that it can function the same way any healthcare provider thinks.  

As a result, BlueHeron.MD is extremely intuitive. Our experience has been that most users understand the basics right off the bat. This reduces or eliminates training costs, making the implementation and adoption of BlueHeron.MD fast and economical.

If you're using BlueHeron.MD and think of a way it could work better for you, our developers can, and will, make sure that feature is a part of the next version of the program. Just click on the help button to send us a message.

Easy to use
A simple, three-panel interface makes it simple to enter, retrieve and view detailed patient information. Common and favourite functions can be accessed through one or two clicks on links or drop-down boxes. A workflow manager signals next steps and task priority, and automatically updates patient information through the day. A notification system ensures users are aware of high-priority and urgent actions.

Fully customizable
There are unlimited ways to configure system security, the presentation of data, the workflow manager, timing of events and the notification system. Save groups of commonly used windows (e.g. SOAP notes, allergies and medications) as a single view for easy access. Practitioners and clinics can also design, build and share an unlimited number of decision-support templates.

Thanks to suggestions from healthcare professionals, BlueHeron.MD is improved every day so its features and functions can be adapted to virtually any clinic.
