Delivers Meaning Well Beyond the Measures
It’s official—IDS has successfully completed the next major
step in its ongoing commitment to creating a seamless, cloud-based IT platform
enabling connectivity across the continuum-of-care. We are extremely pleased to announce that
AbbaDox EHR 14 has received certification for Stage 2 Meaningful Use (MU) as
Complete EHR Ambulatory software by the Office of the National Coordinator
Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) program.
Our new next-generation EHR adds vital, state-of-the-art patient
record functionality and communications to our AbbaDox platform and keeps
providers poised for the future, while helping them qualify for Meaningful Use
reimbursements today.
AbbaDox EHR 14 is a fully cloud-based health records system
built on our core AbbaDox enterprise technology with capabilities for
scheduling, reporting, insurance eligibility verification, broad based
communications and more. Our EHR not only
meets but exceeds MU requirements for advanced cross-enterprise, cross-vendor
communications and unrivaled data sharing across medical sites and EHR
systems. In part, this is thanks to the AbbaDox
platform’s built-in interoperability cloud that accepts and transforms disparate
data to enable sophisticated, seamless information sharing across enterprises
and vendors. It’s a virtual data
communications translation service in the sky.
With all this integrated functionality, AbbaDox EHR surpasses
competing technology when it comes to supporting four of today’s most important
concerns:
- Care Coordination
- Transition of Care
- Population Management
- Patient Engagement
Using AbbaDox EHR, providers can go well beyond the required
numbers, ratios and data manipulations involved in merely meeting measures to
achieve what is most meaningful to their business model. They can accomplish what is important to
actually deliver a higher standard of care and what will position them to
compete favorably in today’s competitive healthcare environment. For example, with AbbaDox EHR, an accountable
care organization (ACO) can easily support patient record communications across
all locations no matter what their IT infrastructures. Notably, to attest to Stage 2 on transition of
care measures, sites need only show successful electronic transfer of 50% of
all patient records. Yet, to function efficiently, an ACO needs to accomplish
this on a much larger scale, and AbbaDox EHR supports this goal.
Overall, our new EHR and the AbbaDox platform effortlessly
enable the broad access to standards-based information that underlies
healthcare reform and that will support the success of healthcare organizations
of every type in the future. Our AbbaDox
HL7 cloud currently facilitates seamless, direct communication of information
among multiple IT systems and healthcare enterprises without costly onsite
configuration. Now, through a wide range
of communication protocols all involved in or eventually involved in MU compliance,
providers can enjoy a truly robust way to support Care Coordination, Transition
of Care and Population Management. These
include Clinical Document Architecture (CDA), Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs),
Continuity of Care Records (CCRs), and Direct Messaging secure email. The AbbaDox platform’s broad analytic
capabilities for historical and real time data also further Population
Management goals.
Patient engagement is supported by many of these documents,
which can be made available to treated individuals after a medical visit and
then forwarded on to other practitioners across the continuum of care. Our robust, user friendly patient portal,
customizable for a particular practice, also supports these goals.
In short, through its MU-compliant AbbaDox EHR, IDS overcomes
numerous common barriers to communication and extends its commitment to broad,
seamless information access across the healthcare system.
