Aqueduct

In the early years of the Hey Clinic, Hey Clinic chose the FileMaker Platform to create another custom application for assessing patient outcomes and gathering data at each stage of medical care. By 2008, he had seen such success with his app that he hired a full-time programmer and began the in-house creation of a custom FileMaker electronic medical record (EMR) program, known as Aqueduct. The custom app running on both desktops and iPads has since become an advanced medical practice management solution to capture data.

The custom EMR created using The FileMaker Platform also tracks family history of disease, an important predictor for Dr. Hey. The app also stores X-rays and other imaging histories, as well as medical records, encounter notes, billing information, a scheduling calendar, and more. After an appointment is complete, the clinician/provider prints a summary and outcome of the visit which is given to the patient. Simultaneously, the clinic’s billing staff receives and processes payment records and receipts. They then can provide an invoice to the patient via e-mail or e-print.
