What Our Clients Say
Forensic nursing programs across the country rely on FeMR for documentation, peer review, and compliance.
"FeMR has been an extremely useful and beneficial tool to our SANE program. It has allowed us to customize our forensic medical records to the patient population we are seeing, tailoring it to their needs and special circumstances. It has also helped us streamline our patient care and be more efficient. We only have one medical provider on call at any given time, so it allows our provider to see patients more quickly and avoid long wait times — capturing the most important things at the time of the exam without having to complete the entire chart prior to sealing the kit and moving on to the next patient. The ability to peer review records before they are released and share photos and videos with other peers is priceless, especially with the pediatric population. Tech support is also top notch and super responsive!"
"FeMR has been a game changer in our forensic nursing care. The concise and organized format allows for seamless documentation while providing bedside patient care. Peer review is a manageable task because of the structure of FeMR. On the administrative side, working with AZ Valley Tech has been a great experience. They are very responsive, have met every request no matter how big or small, and correlate amazing data reports. I have been impressed with FeMR since our first look eight years ago, and I continue to be impressed to this day!"
"I have worked with AZ Valley Technologies, using FeMR, since 2017. We initially chose FeMR because of their ability to successfully convert our statewide examination form into an electronic document. We continue to use FeMR because the program is incredibly intuitive and easy to navigate, and the technical support is consistently excellent. FeMR has provided our state with long-term, HIPAA and HITECH-compliant storage of documents and photographs, while enhancing the privacy of records by eliminating the need to provide paper charts to law enforcement or the state crime lab."
"I've been using FeMR for almost 7 years and couldn't be more satisfied. It is user-friendly — once you're logged in, the tabs guide you through charting seamlessly, just like flipping through the pages of the SIRCHIE documentation. It's straightforward and efficient, which is exactly what I need in a high-pressure forensic setting. The FeMR support team has been incredibly responsive and helpful. I highly recommend FeMR to any professional in the forensic field."
"We've been using FeMR for a decade now! FeMR is easy to use for our SANEs. The team at FeMR is so helpful and always accessible."
"We absolutely love using FeMR at The Turning Point! It's incredibly user-friendly, and the support team is always quick to respond whenever we have questions."
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About FeMR
Everything you need to know about implementing FeMR for your forensic nursing program.
What is FeMR?
FeMR (Forensic electronic Medical Record) is a cloud-based electronic medical record system developed by Valley Technology Solutions. It is designed specifically for SANE programs and forensic healthcare facilities, providing web-based exam processing for Sexual Assault, Interpersonal Violence, Strangulation, Pediatric Abuse, Human Trafficking, Elder Abuse, and Biological Standards/Evidence examinations.
Is FeMR HIPAA compliant?
FeMR exceeds current HIPAA standards for medical records. It uses SSL with FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption for data in flight and encrypted data at rest storage in accordance with NIST 800-111 standards. Role-based access control restricts data to authorized users only, including examiners, management, law enforcement, attorneys, and advocates.
Can FeMR be customized to our existing exam forms?
Yes. Valley Technology Solutions incorporates your existing examination forms into a web-based, logically presented layout within FeMR. If your program does not currently have exam forms, FeMR offers a wide variety of templates and examples that can be configured to suit your program's specific needs and patient populations.
How long does it take to implement FeMR?
A typical FeMR implementation takes 90 to 120 days. Valley Technology Solutions works closely with each client to convert existing forms, configure the system to your program's needs, and ensure a smooth transition. The timeline accounts for form customization, data migration, and formal training sessions for your team.
What training is required to use FeMR?
Valley Technology Solutions provides formal training sessions for all new FeMR clients. The FeMR interface is designed to be intuitive, guiding users through charting with logically organized tabs similar to flipping through documentation pages. Many clients report that new examiners become proficient quickly due to the straightforward layout. Ongoing 24/7 support is available via phone and email after training is complete.
Can FeMR help with data migration from paper records or another system?
Yes. Valley Technology Solutions can import historical patient data from sources such as Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Access databases, and other common formats. Programs transitioning from paper-based documentation often maintain historical records in these formats, and the team works with your program to migrate that data into FeMR while also converting your examination forms into FeMR's electronic format.
What kind of support does Valley Technology Solutions provide?
Valley Technology Solutions provides 24/7 technical support via phone and email. Clients consistently praise the support team for quick turnaround times, helpfulness, and willingness to address requests of any size. All cloud application infrastructure is hosted, maintained, and monitored by Valley Technology Solutions, so no local IT support is required by your program.
What hardware or software is required to use FeMR?
FeMR is entirely cloud-based, requiring only an internet connection and a modern web browser on a PC, laptop, or mobile device. No application installation, special hardware, or local IT support is necessary. All computing infrastructure is hosted and maintained by Valley Technology Solutions.
How much does FeMR cost?
FeMR pricing is based on the number of exam types your program requires and how many patients are seen annually. This allows Valley Technology Solutions to tailor a plan that fits your program's size and scope.
