Complete EHR Certified InfoCare Software for Ambultory Practices
In order to begin to get Medicare (up to $44,000)/Medicaid (up to $63,750) incentives payment, all eligible providers must use a 'Certified' EHR product and demonstarte its use, as defined under the Meaningful Use criteria for Stage 1, starting either in 2011 or 2012. InfoCare is certified to meet all the Meaningful Use Criteria.
Under Stage 1 criteria defined by ONC (Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology) and CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services), ALL records of a patient do not need to be stored in computers in order to demonstrate EHR meaningful use . InfoCare software is designed to show what data is required to be in a patient's EHR under the Meanigful Use criteria. At any given time, a provider can see the status of all the measures of meaningful use criteria and their respective thresholds that he/she must meet in order to demonstrate the Meaningful Use of InfoCare software.
When you use InfoCare, you have an option to go beyond what is required under Stage 1, in order to centralize more of your patient's records in one place. InfoCare's progress note can be provider specific and is designed such that it lets you review all previous notes for any observation and pick and choose any previous observation to be carried forward to the current progress note. This is more than simply allowing you to see previous progress notes. Point and click entry into a progress note provides opportunities to look at past history and document current progress note quickly and accurately.
InfoCare EHR extends and customizes
so that all patient documents can be available right from the screen that displays the current progress note. You can sift through previous forms and create new
ones by pointing and picking from an evolving database of your records
that may include hand written notes, diagrams drawn on a computer
screen, dictated files, or faxes and scanned images of any other
documents. InfoCare can also be programmed to bring up your own familiar forms on the screen. You can write on screen on these forms with your own
handwriting or type on the blank lines.
The Super Bill related to a progress note can be
integrated to come up on the screen so that a provider can mark directly on this
form. This may eliminate entering charges in the back office.
We welcome you to challenge us
in providing you with the most cost effective solution for
computerizing your forms or patient care documents that make sense for
your practice.
