Physicians spend about 16 minutes per patient encounter in the EHR. In fact, it is a primary reason for burnout. A large Annals of Internal Medicine study analyzing about 100 million patient encounters found physicians spent an average of 16+ minutes per encounter using the EHR. The largest category was chart review, accounting for 33% of that time. Primary care physicians spend even more. A 2024 JAMA Network Open study of 307 primary care physicians found PCPs spent a median of 36.2 minutes per visit in the EHR.
A physician may technically have access to a patient’s medical history, yet still be forced to scroll through pages of notes, portals, PDFs, medication lists, lab reports, imaging summaries (which may not be in the document), and disconnected records from multiple providers and health systems. That is not efficiency. In a busy exam room, physicians do not have time to search manually through hundreds of pages to find one critical detail. They need the right information, from the right provider, at the right time. That is where MedKaz® changes the experience.
MedKaz Gives Physicians Instant Access and Search Ability
MedKaz places a patient’s complete health record on one secure, portable device carried by the patient. That means physicians can access records from any provider, any specialist, any hospital, and any health system — all in one place. But the real time-saver is not just access .It is the search capability. With MedKaz, physicians can search across the patient’s entire record, from every provider, whether in their network or another network, to find pertinent information. Think of it as a Google-type search within a chart. Looking for a medication? Search it. Trying to find a specific allergy? Search it. Need to know when a diagnosis first appeared? Search it. Don’t waste time with endless scrolling and looking at a computer screen. Have everything you need to treat the patient right in front of you. MedKaz makes the complete record usable.
The Difference Between Record Access and Finding Answers
Every physician knows the frustration. A patient arrives for a visit and says, “My cardiologist changed a medication, but I don’t remember what.” Or, “I had labs done last month, but I’m not sure about my lipids.” In today’s fragmented healthcare system, those missing details create delays, duplicate testing, medication confusion, and clinical uncertainty. Even when records exist somewhere, they may be trapped in another system, buried in a portal, faxed as a scanned document, or spread across multiple organizations. MedKaz brings those records together. And then makes them searchable. This is antoher one of the benefits of medkaz that we don’t talk about often enough. Because physicians are not looking for more information to manage. They are looking for faster answers.
A Better Point-of-Care Experience
MedKaz was designed to make the physician visit easier, faster, and more informed. For providers, the value is clear:
- Access to all records from any provider or health system.
- Instant search capability for the information they need.
- Time savings of 3–8 minutes per patient visit.
- No change to EHR workflow.
- Physicians are paid to use it.
Physicians are already overloaded with documentation, administrative demands, and fragmented systems that often make care harder than it needs to be. MedKaz does not add another layer of complexity. It removes it.
Searchable Records Save Time and Support Better Care
When a physician can quickly search a complete medical record,every visit becomes more efficient. More face time with patients. The conversation can move faster. Duplicate testing is eliminated. Care coordination is improved. Patient safety is highlighted because it’s easy to instantly see the allergies and adverse events. Patients feel more confident and physicians regain valuable time.Instead of asking, “When was your last colonoscopy” the physician can focus on, “What do you need today?” This is the real benefit of health information. The ability to make the best medical decisions at the point-of-care. Useful information exists. And it’s easy to find.
