Just like our clients, MRK deals with volumes of medical records. On our clinical side, several years ago we went to EMR and slowly adapted to charting with computers, digital x-rays and change. For many of us it was a difficult transition and kudos to our staff that learned many new ways to do their jobs. Many of our staff have been with us for over 20 years and our office practice has changed so much as technology improved. Because we want to be good consumers and conserve resources we are now going to implement reviewing our records in digital format. We hope to save massive amounts of paper, be more efficient and cost effective. This will be a slow transition and we hope to complete the transition by the end of the year.

Another change coming to MRK is our physical location. During 2018 we are going to move the office from its location on the Mercy San Juan campus. As the hospital grows, parking has become an increasingly difficult problem and we have decided to look at space near the freeway on the route 50 corridor and we will keep you posted on our progress.

We have added new physician consultants and are happy to announce Kamran Sahrakar, MD., Neurosurgeon is returning to do evaluations for us and we are thrilled to have him back.

Stay tuned for updates.
