Electronic medical records (EMR) improve
office efficiency and workflow by providing computerized access to vital patient information.

Records further enhances office workflow, minimizes paper-based
redundancies and improves on how procedure codes are selected, SofTalk
Link Engine

Medical Office to bi-directionally interface with third-party software applications. Each
link engine module runs in the background of your SoftAid software,
and provides summary detail for applications such as Quickbooks,
Peachtree, Crystal Reports and any of our strategic
partners' programs. Link Engine modules can also be
developed for any other third-party software, as needed. This
seamless operation eliminates the need to manually export data and
does not conflict with any other computerized operations.
