Orthopedic Surgery EMR Software for Practices and Groups

Orthopedic practices move patients from injury or consult through surgery and months of recovery, and every step needs its own documentation. OneTouch EMR is a cloud-based EMR and practice management system for independent orthopedic practices and multi-provider groups, without enterprise complexity.

Built for the full orthopedic episode

One patient can generate an MSK exam, imaging review, pre-op workup, operative note with implant details and a string of post-op visits, and all of it has to line up for billing.

OneTouch EMR was designed by a practicing physician and lets you build templates for sports medicine, fracture care, joints, hand or spine, so each visit is documented the way you practice.

Works for
  • Independent orthopedic surgeons
  • Sports medicine and fracture clinics
  • Multi-provider orthopedic groups
Key features

What orthopedic practices use every day

Orthopedic templates

Build templates for new MSK consults, fracture care, sports injuries, joint and spine consults, post-op visits and workers' comp evaluations.

Musculoskeletal exam

Record range of motion, strength, stability, neurovascular status, special tests and gait in a structured format.

Draw & annotate

Mark injuries, tenderness and incision sites on body diagrams, or annotate clinical photos, right in the note.

Pre-op & consent

Document history, risk assessment, clearance requests and the informed consent discussion before surgery.

Operative notes

Capture diagnoses, procedure, approach, implants with lot and serial numbers, findings, blood loss, tourniquet time and complications.

Post-op & rehab

Track wound and hardware checks, range of motion, weight-bearing status, PT coordination and return to activity.

Outcome scores

Add KOOS, HOOS, DASH or Oswestry to your templates and compare scores to the pre-op baseline.

Imaging & labs

Order X-rays, MRI and CT and keep the reports in the chart, with lab results returned through eLabs.

E-prescribing & EPCS

Send post-operative prescriptions electronically with interaction checks, including EPCS for controlled pain medications.

Orthopedic billing

Bill E/M, fracture care, injection, arthroscopy and joint procedure codes, and manage claims and denials in one place.

Scheduling & reminders

Book consults, fracture clinic, pre-op and post-op visits with color-coded appointment types and SMS and email reminders.

Paperless intake & patient portal

Patients complete injury and surgical histories online. Upload post-op instructions and rehab protocols to the portal.

Features vary by plan. For example, e-prescribing and eLabs start with Bronze, EPCS and telehealth with Silver, billing with Gold, and AI Voice Dictation is an add-on. Compare plans → Also see physical medicine & rehabilitation, podiatry and surgery centers.

For orthopedic groups

Surgeons, PAs and fracture clinics in one system

Orthopedic groups split the work: surgeons operate, PAs and NPs run fracture clinic and post-op visits, and patients move between offices and subspecialties. OneTouch EMR keeps every provider and location in one system, so the consult, imaging, operative note and every post-op visit sit in the same chart.

Pricing is per provider, with lower practice management and billing rates for PAs and NPs. See how OneTouch works for medical groups →

What a group gets
  • Multiple surgeons, PAs and offices in one system
  • Templates for sports medicine, fracture care, joints, hand and spine

Orthopedic billing

From consult to global period, billed from one chart

Orthopedic claims depend on the operative note, the implants used and every visit after surgery. OneTouch keeps all of it with the claim.

Procedure-heavy coding

Bill E/M, fracture care, injection, arthroscopy and joint procedure codes, and manage claims and denials in one place.

Workers’ comp visits

Document workers’ comp evaluations with their own templates, alongside the rest of the patient’s orthopedic care.

FAQ

Questions orthopedic practices ask

What should an orthopedic surgery EMR do?

It should follow the full surgical episode, from MSK exam and imaging through pre-op, the operative note with implant details and every post-op visit, with outcome scores and orthopedic billing in the same system. OneTouch EMR lets you build templates for each subspecialty your group covers.

Can we record implants in the operative note?

Yes. Operative notes capture the procedure, approach, implants with lot and serial numbers, findings, blood loss, tourniquet time and complications.

Does it track outcome scores?

Yes. Add KOOS, HOOS, DASH or Oswestry to your templates and compare scores to the pre-op baseline.

How is a group with PAs and NPs priced?

Pricing is per provider, with lower practice management and billing rates for PAs and NPs than for surgeons. See group pricing

How hard is it to switch from our current EMR?

We import data from most other EMRs at no charge, typically in 5–7 business days. The EMR can be live within a few weeks, and practice management and billing in 30–45 days.

Why OneTouch

Why orthopedic surgeons choose OneTouch EMR

Hospital EHRs are built for health systems, while lightweight outpatient platforms have no real place for an MSK exam, an implant log or outcome scores.

OneTouch EMR gives independent orthopedic practices templates for the whole surgical episode, for a solo surgeon or a multi-provider orthopedic group. It's ONC-certified and ICD-10 ready, and our support team is available by phone and email.
