MedcomSoft Record utilizes advanced technology to ensure maximum data integrity and security geared specifically to multi-user, enterprise-level, and wide-area implementation environments. In such settings, security, reliability and data control are critical, and as such, MedcomSoft has developed sophisticated exclusive record locking and protection mechanisms. The system will allow multiple users to view specific data (such as a patient encounter) concurrently, provided that security access rights allow clearance; however, only a single user at a time is allowed to modify or update any such records. These rules are also in place for areas in which data affects other data, thereby protecting from data infringement. MedcomSoft Record users can be confident and relieved in knowing that patient and financial information is safe, protected, reliable and secure at all times.
