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 Mobile Charge Capture Software Now Available On Verizon iPhone

This month, Apple released the much anticipated Verizon Wireless iPhone, breaking the AT&T monopoly on the smartphone and giving pMD users more flexibility in choosing a device and cell phone carrier. pMD creates easy-to-use mobile applications for doctors to capture medical billing charges, manage patient information and communicate with each other. The software company, which in 2008 released the first native charge capture app for the iPhone, is committed to providing an outstanding user experience.

pMD Offers Native Mobile Charge Capture App To Be Used On iPad And Smartphone Simultaneously

pMD continues to lead innovation in mobile charge capture by allowing doctors to use the software natively on an iPad in addition to an iPhone, iPod Touch or BlackBerry. The software company creates easy-to-use mobile applications to capture billing charges, manage patient information and facilitate communication between physicians. It released the first-to-market native charge capture app for the iPad last year. "iPad usage in the hospital is growing exponentially," said Dr. Travis Rutland, a gastroenterologist in Alabama. "It's definitely changing medicine in a good way." As doctors move between their offices, hospitals and clinics, they still need immediate access to patient information. The iPad, which offers more screen real estate than a smartphone and is more portable and battery efficient...

The Case For The iPad: Mobile Charge Capture For Physicians

Physicians know what they want from technology: simplicity, mobility, and automation. These three elements are the focus of all software development at pMD. It's why pMD has embraced new platforms such as the iPhone and BlackBerry, knowing that a great user experience is essential to achieving 100% adoption from every physician in a medical practice. Only excellent software can deliver the ROI that physicians expect from a mobile charge capture solution: typically a 10% increase in revenue from hospital rounding. But excellent software can only be written on an excellent hardware platform. That's why pMD is so excited about the new Apple iPad. pMD's iPhone app has been such a great success because it employs Apple's best practices, so when...

Selecting Or Designing iPhone and Mobile Software For Physicians

Adam Kenney, a lead software developer at pMD, recently wrote a guest article for the well known industry blog "The Healthcare IT Guy". In it, Adam gives an overview of the role of mobile software in a modern healthcare practice and key functionality to consider when selecting a solution. Any physician who spends time in the hospital setting understands the importance of "taking it with you". Web-only software is great; but even now, when many hospital rooms have a terminal on hand, the overhead of logging in and logging off for each patient can be intolerable for busy physicians who are already spending too much time on administrativia. This is where mobile software comes in. Doctors were among...

pMD RELEASES CHARGE CAPTURE SOFTWARE FOR BLACKBERRY STORM

pMD, Inc. 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.

No one can dispute its simplicity. Nonetheless, it exacts hidden tolls in the form...

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.

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....

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...
