It has been a crazy 2017 for the SeriousMD team. As cliche as this might sound, a lot of blood, sweat and tears were shed to bring out one amazing update after another. If you’ve been with us since the start almost 2 years ago or at least for a few months now, you saw […]
It’s been a while since our last product update here on the blog. Why? We’ve been swamped with releases, one after the other. It was also a great opportunity to try out different platforms to inform everybody about the changes we do inside SeriousMD. We have released a public changelog so we can show you […]
Why I’m Writing This Every doctor should be using an EMR. In fact, I think it should be required by the government just like in some other countries. I also think it should be at least introduced in medical school. I know: coming from me, it sounds biased. But hear me out first. I’ve seen […]
I’ve met a lot of doctors over the past years and I get asked this pretty regularly: “Can you show me examples of electronic medical records in use? I want to understand how it can benefit me.” I’m still surprised by the number of new doctors that ask this. I’ve met doctors who have trained […]
Awareness of EMR software is growing among Philippine healthcare professionals. In spite of that, a lot are still somewhat unclear as to the benefits of EHR apps. Most do have a general sense that using one is supposed to improve their work. What they don’t know is how exactly those improvements are supposed to happen. […]
We normally publish informative pieces on medicine in the digital age or news about app updates here. But to shake things up, I’ve decided to write about something I realized during a recent visit to Cebu. Consider this an opinion piece with a little story thrown in. The Story We were invited to Cebu by […]

The 3rd Golden Heart Symposium took place on the 27th of July. For the many who were not able to attend the event due to the bad weather that day, we’d like to continue to help spread awareness about the ailment the symposium focused on: cerebral palsy. What Is Cerebral Palsy? Cerebral palsy or CP […]
It’s pretty common to see resistance to change. When it comes to implementing new EMR software for your practice, you’ll probably experience it as one of the key hurdles. Transitioning from a paper-based process to one reliant on an electronic system can be scary for doctors and their staff. Secretaries, nurses and other staff members […]
Sometimes, dealing with EMRs or regulations like ICD10 isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When you’ve had about all you can take of medical charts, new EHR protocol, and the like, a little humor can be just what the doctor ordered. Here are some great jokes we’ve rounded up about running a practice or being a […]
We’ve gotten a lot of great feedback over the past year on how doctors are using SeriousMD in their clinics. On the flip side, we’ve gotten responses too from doctors who still haven’t found the time to get started with it. It made us wonder: “What did the other doctors do differently that enabled them […]
We already know about how EMRs can reduce costs. We now know how they reduce wasted time. They also have better security of patient data and allow better communication between physicians compared to paper records. But how about the EMR’s effects on patient care? Do EMRs improve patient care at all? Many holdouts have argued […]
