EMMA features a complete document and image archival system for the archival of incoming and outgoing correspondence. The system has a complete filing system as well as the ability to join archives together. The practitioner is presented with a simple notes reviewing system which is almost identical to his paper files.
Digital Archive
The digital archive is designed to allow you to store all your digital patient media (scans, correspondence) as well as audio and video files in one safe place. Files can be categorised in folders and sets as well as browsed. When in browsing mode, a full screen 'reader' pops up and the user can browse through all the notes as if they were on paper. It is quick and efficient as well as easy.
For notes where multiple doctors may be viewing, notes can be recorded next to paper and this will be stored with the file. Notes cannot be deleted, only added to so you have confidence that all your comments are stored safely with the paper record.

Email Archive
The Email Archival function within EMMA integrates directly into your mail server and compiles a complete archive of all communications sent to or from your patients, clients and admin staff.
It logs everything absolutely seamlessly so a complete auditable log of all emails are archived within the patient's file. This log is not editable and information can only be retrieved by entering your password to prevent abuse. It is not possibly to bypass the system so you can have absolute faith that all information is accurate.
This is the most secure way of recording auditable communications between your clients and your staff.
Comments
We have integrated a commenting system to allow practitioners to make side remarks on the notes. These also feature the same revisioning system as the letters system so one practitioner cannot wipe the comments of another.
