One patient. One electronic medical record.

Allina has one of the most comprehensive electronic medical record systems in the nation. Our electronic medical record system enhances how we deliver your care:

• Timely access to your medical information – With the click of a mouse, caregivers can see your complete medical history, giving them immediate, easy access to your information.
• Immediate safety checks – The system automatically cross-checks your allergies and current medications with any new prescriptions being considered. Your caregiver will immediately know if there is a potential drug or allergy interaction and can order a different medicine without delay.
• Quicker access to test results – Your caregiver is notified by e-mail when test results have been added to your electronic medical record, eliminating the need for test results to travel from the lab.
• Providing information once – Because each Allina facility has access to this information, you only need to provide your information once, saving time and eliminating hassle.
