epaperless Practice has met
all of the rigid requirements of federal standards and
guidelines for electronic medical record (EMR) and has been
granted the CCHIT (Certified Commission for Healthcare
Information Technology) (NEED
CORRECT NAME AND CERTIFICATION)
approval by the federal government.
In 2004,
President George W. Bush signed an executive order promoting the
national adoption of EHRs (Electronic Health Records) calling
for every American physician to have an EHR by 2014. Health
Information Technology (HIT) is a bi-partisan issue; former
Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush, Sr. have both promoted
the adoption of HIT, along with many legislators on both sides
of the party line.
A September
2005 report by the RAND Corporation estimated that $77 billion
annually would be saved if 90 percent of physicians adopted EHR.
The report also estimated another $4 billion in savings from
reductions in prescription errors as well as the potential for
many lives to be saved using an efficient medical records
retrieval system.
epaperless Practice is an
integrated HER system that could perform all of the functions
necessary to run a medical office or clinic. This includes
appointments, charting of medical records, data retrieving,
office managing, electronic claiming and financial reporting,
etc..
“The savings
and improved efficiency that we have achieved are very positive.
We now save approximately $5 per patient per office visit by
eliminating paper charts and print materials, and the “hands-on”
physical labor required for pulling, finding, and re-filing of
patient charts is a thing of the past” said, Dr. Jia, one of the
many physicians who have implanted epapaperless Practice
in their practice.
Dr. Jia
continued: “But the most important aspect of this new system is
that because of the way the program is designed, I can now spend
more time giving quality care to my patients. Instead of looking
through stacks of charts, now I just touch the screen and all
the patient’s information is instantly in front of me.”
“One of the
biggest concerns that a doctor has when considering whether or
not to initiate an EHR system is that he or she does not want
to become a slave to the computer. The system would have to be
easy to use, intuitive, and not create additional work or
technological challenges for himself or his staff. Epaperless
Practice has met all those requirements” added by Dr. Feng,
Jianwei, a local cardiologist, who is another user of
epaperless Practice.
“What we have
created with ePaperless Practice is a system that
follows a logical path which mirrors the way my office operates,
so we didn’t have to change the way we gather information when
we started using the pen-like device for inputting into the
electronic record.” Mr. Jackline Adalis, the senior sales of BMD
Services, explained.
The ePaperless Practice provides
an integrated medical software solution to busy medical
practice. The software fully automates medical record retrieval
and storage and reduces redundant entries of vital patient
information previously stored in reams of paper files. The
ePaperless Practice program provides automated ERM
(Electronic Record Management), complete practice management
functions, billing and claims management in one totally
integrated software solution. |
