American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) The Stimulus Bill  Incentives for Healthcare: Frequently Asked Questions

ADS is proud to offer the powerful, CCHIT-certified MedicsDocAssistant Electronic Health Records Software (EHR) package. Electronic Health Records systems (also known as Electronic Medical Records, or EMR) have proven to be a far better approach to documentation than conventional, paper-based systems. MedicsDocAssistant presents a dynamically powerful EHR/EMR solution, with industry-leading practice management software features. The primary advantages ADS clients enjoy by using EHR/EMR include:

• Increased Efficiency: Patient information is readily available, saving time and effort. Additionally, much less office space is required to store the records.
• Improved Documentation: Eliminates illegible handwriting, links related records electronically, reduces data entry errors, and helps eliminate missing/required patient information.
• Improved quality of care: With complete and immediate access to patient records, providers are able to provide better, faster, more personalized care, raising the level of both medical care and personal attention.
• Improved security: Role-based security allows only authorized individuals access to medical records. Access logging and auditing provides a history of who accessed and who modified any record.
• Reduced documentation expenses: Eliminates need for most transcription activity and dramatically reduces the need for paper storage facilities.
• Likelihood of reduced malpractice insurance premiums: In some cases, malpractice insurance carriers will reduce malpractice premiums 5%-10% when an EHR is being used. Also, in the event of a malpractice case, EHR will provide better documentation - more legible, with an audit trail - for presenting a defense.

Key Features

MedicsDocAssistant Electronic Health Records software offers these key features:

• Industry-leading, full-featured practice management software features
• Physicians Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI): Voluntary PQRI reporting began in 2006, but now it is a requirement in order to comply with "meaningful use" as it applies to the Stimulus Act for obtaining bonus incentives for EHR usage. MedicsDocAssistant reports quality data related to services provided under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule by gathering measures on at least 80% of appropriate/applicable patients. Essentially, PQRI captures the level of success of outcomes based on the procedures performed for that patient, in an attempt to have patients be treated as effectively, and efficiently, as possible.
• Computer Based Provider Order Entry (CPOE) : CPOE enables the provider to enter orders for medications, laboratory/radiology tests and procedures directly into the patient’s record. The system then transmits the order(s) to the appropriate departments, individuals, labs, pharmacies, etc. Includes real-time clinical decision support such as dosage and alternative medication suggestions, duplicate therapy warnings, and drug-to-drug and drug-to-allergy interaction checking.
• Evidence-Based Medicine: Also known as "Decision Support," MedicsDocAssistant includes features such as "blue ribbons" for supporting the individual provider’s judgment with the best available evidence from systematic research.
• MedicsRX e-Prescribing Solution: MedicsRX improves patient care by providing safety measures for every prescription issued. Accurate, secure prescription data is electronically transferred to all connected pharmacies eliminating the need for handwritten prescriptions.
• Medics On-Call™ for iPhone™: Clean, fast and accurate, use your iPhone to enter data at the point of care – not hours or sometimes even days later! Excellent for hospital rounds or whenever the provider is out of the office, the iPhone interface places patient data at the provider's fingertips.

The Automated Patient Questionnaire allows patients to complete much of their initial registration and actual encounter information in advance of their arrival at the practice.
• Encounter-based model: Documentation is created by the physician during the patient encounter. Integrated facilities are provided for organizing patient encounter data, inserting handwritten notes, including transcripts and easily accessing glossaries of medical terms.
• Virtual sticky notes: During or after a patient encounter, the physician may enter handwritten notes and diagrams into the system.
• Template texts: The Electronic Health Records system includes thousands of ready-made template texts to assist the provider quickly enter encounter data. Specialty-specific templates are also avaialable (see below).
• Powerful search: A number of powerful search forms allows the provider to immediately locate a patient's records by name, date, time slot, free-text search and more.
• Role-based security: Individuals in the practice can be provided differing level of access security within the system. Roles may be designated for entering, changing or viewing information for particular patients, particular groups of patients or all patients.
• Automated Patient Questionnaire: The Automated Patient Questionnaire allows patients to complete much of their initial registration and actual encounter information in advance of their arrival at the practice. The patient receives, via email, a unique password which permits access to the Automated Patient Questionnaire website. The patient arrives at the practice with much of the paperwork drudgery already completed. This is an optional MedicsDocAssistant feature.
