The HIPAA-compliant text messaging app allows health care professionals to communicate easily and securely around patient care. “Our practice has been trying to get our community on the same secure text messaging system for a long time because we need to share PHI with other physicians to coordinate patient care,” said Dr. Jeremy Gitomer with Kidney and Hypertension Clinic of Alaska. “When a patient is discharged from...

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,...

When a provider interprets tests in the hospital, the cardiology system produces electronic data for each test result and professional billing charges are automatically generated in pMD. This charge automation frees the physicians from the tedious process of having to manually bill for the test interpretations altogether, and the billing office receives the charges electronically and in real time. “This interface...

Solution to Upcoming PQRS Requirements

Looming deadlines and penalties by Medicare's Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) will affect many medical professionals across various specialties, requiring action as early as October 15 of this year. PQRS was once a predominantly voluntary payment-incentivized program, however, it is becoming a requirement, leaving many practices scrambling to understand how it will affect them and how to best incorporate it into their current system by the upcoming deadlines. pMD's mobile charge capture software, which allows doctors to enter hospital charges and patient handoff notes at the point of care, makes the PQRS reporting process easy and intuitive. Created in 2007, PQRS was designed to promote the reporting of quality patient care rendered by medical professionals through a set of established...

Any physician who spends time in the hospital setting understands the importance of "taking it with you".

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.

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES!

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.

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 pro- gram, 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...
