Introduction to Rheumatology EMR Software - Cellma

Implementing the right rheumatology EMR software is essential for managing long-term conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. From early diagnosis and joint assessments to biologics management and ongoing flare tracking, modern rheumatology patient care requires a system that provides precision, continuity, and integration. 
 
Cellma is a purpose-built all-in-one EMR software for rheumatology that enables each component of rheumatology practice. It brings together clinical and administrative workflows – enabling consultants to easily access DAS28 scores, EMS records, lab results (ESR, CRP), imaging, treatment timelines, and NICE-compliant plans, all from a single platform.  
 
Optimised for today’s rheumatology services, Cellma does more than documentation. It supports prescribing, billing with a fully integrated SNOMED and ICD code directory, care planning, outcome reporting, as well as seamless collaboration with GPs, physiotherapists, immunologists, and community clinics – helping to provide informed, consistent care during every stage of care delivery. 

Aligned with NHS 10-Year Plan:

Cellma is purpose-built to support these goals through prevention-focused, digitally enabled, and integrated community care.
