Since the approval of over $20 billion federal dollars being made available to medical practitioners in the US who implement EMR technology, the buzz has run around the clarification of the “meaningful use” guidelines that will make a practice eligible for the $44,000 payment when they implement this paperless EMR and practice management system.
However, the most recent wave of discussions around the office water cooler have been about the expected wave of US doctors that plan to adopt the technology. Accenture reports that there will be an expected 58% in practices adopting the software before the end of the year. That is more than
a 900 percent increase added to the already 6% of medical offices that employ EMR systems in the US to date.
With this surge in EMR implementation, the key factor for any practice interested in electronic medical records is to find the right provider for their needs. Key factors to look for in an EMR solution provider are:
- Long-standing reputation in the field.
- Cutting-edge technology capability.
- Unmatched customer-service with 24 hour tech-support, online or by phone.
- The ability to adapt to their clients’ needs as healthcare changes
Intivia has served out clients successfully for the last eight years with the highest-quality technology, 24-hour customer service and has often adapted their services to fit their clients’ needs. Their latest addition to their EMR solution is a highly-integrated medical transcription module to improve the transition for new clients to the paperless and streamlined InSync™ EMR system.
As the states take action to begin broader action to initiate adoption of EMR technology by their practitioners, the developers and staff at Intivia are ready to provide latest options available to streamline medical practice management and take an active part in healthcare reform in the US.
