HCB News: What barriers are there in communication around patient care? PD: Text messaging has become such a widely used form of communication. However, doctors are unable to use this technology due to the regulatory barriers that are posed by the health care industry. Communication surrounding patient care is also faced with many system barriers. Some of the most critically-ill patients see several providers at once, however, the logistics of trying to get all of these providers to talk to one another about this one patient...

Customizable pMD Secure Message Reminders For iOS Mobile App

pMD, the innovation leader in physician communication and mobile charge capture, has released enhancements to its secure text messaging software. With standard communication, like SMS text messages or email, there is always an element of chance involved, such as knowing whether or not that communication is sent, received, or read. pMD's solution is to create a secure messaging tool with patent-pending cascading reminders to ensure that no messages are missed. pMD users have control over their own message reminder preferences, including SMS text, email, and voice call. This allows doctors and staff to customize how often and by which means they want to be reminded of unread messages based on their workflows. Recipients of pMD messages can have the confidence that they...

PQRS Solutions for the New Year

The Physician Quality Reporting System began in 2007 as a health care quality improvement initiative established by the federal agency Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Until 2014, the PQRS program allowed physicians to earn an incentive payment for reporting on a small subset of clinical quality measures identified as industry best practices for patient care. PQRS incentive payments just for providing quality patient care sounds like easy money for doctors and practices, right? Not quite. Failure to meet CMS’s quality thresholds, as well as the failure to report entirely, will result in payment adjustments subtracted from providers’ Medicare reimbursement in 2017. However, medical practices can still avoid penalties this year. pMD can easily set up PQRS measures and...

The Evolution of Mobile Phones & Texting

SMS text messaging is the most modern form of communication, having evolved rapidly over the last 20 years into the short form of choice. One of the few things that doctors have in common with teenagers is their love of text messaging. People love it in part because you only need a cell phone number in order to send someone a text message. You don't have to know or care if the person has an iPhone, an Android phone, or even just a regular cell phone - they will almost certainly receive your text. The openness of SMS text messages is also a downside for health care providers, businesses, and those who value their privacy. In just a few years,...

pMD Adds Mobile Appointment Calendar to iPhone Charge Capture Software

pMD today announced the addition of an outpatient appointment calendar and call schedule to its popular iPhone charge capture software, fully matching the features of pMD for BlackBerry. pMD lowers the cost of running a practice, saves time that can be spent with patients, and now allows a practice to take its entire schedule on the go. Software interfaces allow pMD to act as a mobile extension of an existing practice management or EMR system. Reduce Costs and Improve Patient Care Reducing the costs of medicine while improving the quality of patient care is now a national crusade.

pMD RELEASES CHARGE CAPTURE SOFTWARE FOR BLACKBERRY STORM

pMD today extended its popular mobile charge capture and rounding software to the BlackBerry Storm. Combining on-the-go connectivity with the simplicity of a touch interface, this device is a natural evolution for pMD, which emphasizes realtime communication and exceptional ease of use. Practices seeking to save time, recover lost income, and improve patient hand-off can benefit immensely from charge capture; but only if they choose the right solution for their needs. What's Wrong with Paper? A paper solution for capturing charges - such as 3x5 index cards, the status quo for tracking hospital patients in many practices - is quick to use and highly mobile. No one can dispute its simplicity. Nonetheless, it exacts hidden tolls in the form of...

pMD iPhone Beta is Underway

It's official: the beta program is underway for pMD's iPhone charge capture software. We've been too busy feverishly working on the release to announce it earlier, but we've added users steadily from our waiting list, and so far their feedback has been red hot: we've heard "it's super intuitive," "I love the interface," and even "this is heaven!" So what are the beta users raving about? For one thing, they have managed their census, entered new patients, and created charges without any training. We pride ourselves on making software that's intuitive to use, and the iPhone platform has let us succeed at this beyond even our high expectations. Our customers love seeing their patients' clinical notes at a glance,...

SO GOOD IT'S SCARY

Take a look at that census: it's familiar; it's comfortable. If you've used pMD before, then you already know how to use it. And even if you haven't, carrying an iPhone for a day or two will tell you everything you need to know. That's because we followed Apple's conventions and standards when we designed pMD for the iPhone, so it "just works" like you'd expect. At the same time, you can see that we've carried forward our successes from the BlackBerry platform. In some cases we've taken them even further: not only do you have access to a preview of each patient's clinical note, but you can see it at a glance as you flick through your patients....

You may not be surprised that we're working on a version of pMD for the iPhone, if you're familiar with how we do things. Of course, you can use pMD on an iPhone right now, thanks to the full functionality of our Web site. But even that isn't good enough: we're "going native," creating an application that's specifically optimized to run on your iPhone whether or not you have a data signal. To us, that's what it means for charge capture to be mobile: it's lightning-fast and it works anywhere, even in a lead-lined room. We embrace new devices and technologies before our competitors, and the iPhone is clearly the next big mobile platform, bringing the benefits of...

HOW THE DEVICE IN YOUR HAND CAN PUT MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

Thanks to an electronic charge-capture program, OB/GYN Vivian S. Hernandez of Brook- line, MA, is earning an extra 5 percent a year—while seeing the same number of patients. Yes, the program has created some additional work for her, but the tradeoff is that her charges are now being accurately recorded. It’s not that her office at New England OBGYN Associates used to lose many encounter forms. “But it was not uncommon for the information to be vague, general, and incomplete,” she recalls. Consequently, she’d either not get paid or receive less than she should have. “That happened a lot.” Now, using a Palm that she synchronizes into the office’s scheduling system each day, Hernandez enters codes for in-office...
