Ambulatory Surgical Center EHR Software
At the center of every ambulatory surgical center is an electronic health record (EHR) or electronic medical record (EMR) software system.
The most comprehensive & innovative EHR software for ASC patient management
These systems have advanced dramatically since they were first introduced as a digital version of a paper chart. Today’s ASC EHR/EMR software is at the center of every patient’s care. Our software increases patient engagement, improves care coordination, and seamlessly integrates with a variety of EHR systems to connect ASC surgeons with primary and specialty care providers throughout your care catchment area.
In an increasingly competitive ASC market, where payers, patients, and providers are looking for opportunities to reduce costs and improve the quality of surgical care, having the best EHR software from AdvancedMD can help your facility maintain the trust and confidence of physicians in your area.
Coordinating Care Across Multiple Healthcare Providers & Systems
Coordinated care might feel like a buzzword sometimes, but it’s essential to patient health and safety. ASCs are unique in healthcare because they are not the main point of care for a patient. Primary care providers and specialists house all the patient’s medical records and medical history, and they have to share it with you prior to surgery. Receiving accurate and timely patient information is a key component of providing exceptional patient care while someone is at your ASC, and the software you use to facilitate data sharing makes a difference.
AdvancedMD makes it easy and seamless to transfer patient information between your ASC and providers’ offices for better transitions in care. You can customize templates for specific facilities or referral types to reduce manual data entry. This increases patient safety and confidence in your ability to offer the highest level of surgical care.
Import Patient Data
AdvancedMD software is built for data sharing, with API capabilities to connect to the most commonly used EHR/EMR software systems in the U.S. We make it easy to gather essential patient data prior to surgery, including:
- A list of currently prescribed medications and dosage information
- Physician notes from prior encounters relevant to the upcoming surgery
- Medical history, including family history and any current or former diagnoses that could impact surgical care
- Medication and other allergies to ensure patient safety before, during, and after surgery
- Laboratory and imaging results from the provider, the hospital, or an outpatient facility
Electronic Referrals
The most successful ASCs are the ones that make it easy for providers to refer patients for care. Our EMR/EHR software streamlines the referral process so providers can quickly send over relevant patient information to your facility to prepare for an upcoming surgical procedure. Your staff will have all the necessary data to contact the patient, schedule the surgery, and verify insurance coverage.
Hospitals and providers know that providing a good patient experience is one of the best ways to differentiate themselves from the competition. When you use AdvancedMD EHR/EMR software for ambulatory surgical centers, referring providers will feel comfortable and confident in your ability to take great care of patients and enhance the overall patient experience.

Plus you can easily control access to various reports with our permission-based security tools.
