E SQUARE Template®Testimonials |

“I have used the E SQUARE Template® for over 5 years. The templates are organized in the same way that Emergency Physicians process their Histories and Physicals in their heads. They progress from the specifics of the Present Illness to the Review of Systems, Past Medical History, Physical Exam, and Differential Diagnosis. The really great advantage of the templates is that they optimize your documentation and minimize your writing time. The other advantage is risk management. The templates remind you what to document with each patient so that the most relevant points pertaining to that patient’s chief complaint don’t get missed. They even include pertinent items that JCAHO looks at such as reassessment of pain, patient education, etc. I would strongly recommend the E SQUARE Template® for any Emergency Department. "
“At Illini we have seen significant improvements in the documentation and coding of the ED charts. Since implementing the improved E SQUARE Template® we have seen a 0.5-0.6 level increase in our E&M skews. The hospital's technical component has followed suit by increasing an average of $135.00 per chart during the first 3 months of implementation.
During my 15 years as an Emergency Medicine physician I have used many documentation tools including dictation and templates. None of these provided me with the ease and completeness of the E SQUARE Template®. In these days of increasing medical legal risk I look to protect myself as much as possible while maintaining a good work flow. It is simple to adapt one of the four charts to virtually any chief complaint in a quick and efficient manner. It is a system that not only helps me provide good patient care but also makes me a more attractive physician to both my insurance company and billing service.
