Healthcare Technology and EMR-Ready Scales

Healthcare Technology & EMR-Ready Scales

Healthcare Technology Week was celebrated last month – it’s an event that focuses on showcasing and discussing the latest advancements in healthcare technology. It brings together healthcare professionals, technology vendors, researchers, and policymakers to explore innovative solutions and strategies for improving healthcare delivery.

One significant aspect of healthcare technology is the adoption and implementation of electronic medical records (EMRs). EMRs are digital versions of patients' paper-based medical records, containing their medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, and other relevant information.  EMRs have numerous benefits including the creation of a centralized storage platform, information sharing and can improve efficiencies.

Befour, Inc. manufactures scales that stay at the forefront of technology. With the realization that there are many versions of EMR software used, Befour designed scales with technology which allowed for customization.   

Befour’s MX-series digital scales are “EMR/EHR – Ready” meaning our scales already have the ability to transmit data (height, weight, BMI information) electronically via hardwire as well as ‘wirelessly’ with the addition of an optional Bluetooth module. There are a vast number of EMR software systems available for use and all differ slightly in how they receive data in. Our robust IT and engineering teams add customization to enable acceptance of the data by each individual EMR system.

An advantage of the Befour product line is that our digital scales already have the ability to transmit data. In addition, we’ve streamlined our Professional Healthcare scale line so the same CX7 Display Console is used across all scales. Once a specific scale ‘talks’ to an EMR system, all of the MX series scales that utilize the CX7 Display Console would as well.
