Electronic Medical Records and Prescriptions
Dr. Hayden has been using electronic medical records since 1997. We will be updating to the latest version of the "Medical Home" type EMR in the near future. This promises to be an exciting phase in the exchange of medical information and the overall care of our patients.
 
Most prescriptions are sent electronically directly to the pharmacy. However, changes in the prescribing laws for the State of RI necessitate some prescriptions being sent by fax, while others need to be hand-delivered.
