EHR for geriatric practices
A geriatric note that covers what matters in older adults: function, cognition, falls, polypharmacy, caregiving and goals of care, with a check-in written for them.
A note template built for geriatrics
The Geriatrics E&M template adds the geriatric assessment to the standard visit.
Function, cognition and falls
- Basic and instrumental activities of daily living
- Frailty indicators
- Cognitive and depression screening
- Delirium history
- Fall history, gait and balance
Polypharmacy review
- Medication count
- Potentially inappropriate medications (AGS Beers criteria)
- Adherence and medication management
- Deprescribing candidates and actions
Safety and goals of care
- Home safety, driving and firearms
- Elder abuse, neglect and exploitation screening
- Caregiver support and social isolation
- Advance directives, code status and hospice
Every section can be adjusted to how your practice documents.
A check-in that asks the right questions
Before the visit, patients choose what brings them in from 34 geriatrics reasons, so the reason for the visit is in the chart before you walk in. Among them:
The check-in also covers demographics, history, social history and a specialty review of systems.
Consents and forms included
Geriatrics documents patients can read and sign electronically, as part of check-in or on their own.
- Geriatrics patient check-in
- Advance care planning information
- Remote patient monitoring consent
- Opioid and controlled substance treatment agreement
- Depression, cognition and other screening measures
Every form can be edited to match your practice’s policies.
Chronic care for older adults
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) and chronic care management (CCM) care plans run in the same system as the chart and the claim.
NovoScribe, the optional AI scribe, drafts the visit note while you talk, for you to review and sign. AI is billed by usage.
Questions geriatrics practices ask
Does the note include a medication review?
Yes. The polypharmacy review records the medication count, potentially inappropriate medications against the AGS Beers criteria, adherence, and deprescribing candidates and actions.
Can we document falls and home safety?
Yes. The template covers fall history and risk, gait and balance, home safety, driving and firearms safety, and elder abuse screening.
Is there a place for goals of care?
Yes. Goals of care and directives record what matters most to the patient, advance directives and code status, palliative care and hospice, and advance care planning time.
What does it cost?
The complete EMR is $285 to $385 per provider per month, with scheduling, intake, the patient portal and e-prescribing included. AI features are billed separately, by usage. See pricing
