the freedom to use it out of the box or to modify it for maximum productivity in
your office.

MediNotes e is the first of its kind; a zero-navigation EMR. Everything that
doctors need to access (patient information, practice information, templates,
notes, documents) is all available at the same time on the same screen. Each
element is displayed as a separate tab within the main program shell. This
allows doctors to toggle between multiple active patients quickly and easily
during their busy day.
