Electronic Medical Records

ABS further strengthens its electronic, integrated offering with its electronic medical records (EMR) platform. The EMR offered by ABS, which is certified by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT), streamlines and digitizes all aspects of the patient care documentation process. Data is easily displayed and upon opening a patient chart, a summary of the patient's visits appear with detailed information. In addition, the practice's workflow is displayed in an easy to follow step-by-step layout, both of which are completely customizable. Many specialty-specific templates are also available and can be tailored to meet the needs of individual practices. ABS handles the customizing of the EMR platform to ensure all elements are present and relevant data is appropriately incorporated.

Some of the benefits of employing ABS' EMR include:

• Paperless transactions
• Cost efficiencies resulting from paperless processing
• E-prescribing
• Better positioning for practices to qualify for meaningful use incentives
• Reduced transcription costs
• Easier access to patient information; available at user's fingertips.
• Central location for all patient data

Both the EPM and EMR solutions are housed in a secure environment and maintained by ABS-employed professionals and technical specialists. Clients can easily and quickly access information remotely via the Internet. ABS offers clients these tools via an ASP model with low, monthly licensing costs.

By integrating these e-solutions into its offering, ABS offers relief and comfort to clients that no longer need to worry about system crashes or unrecoverable data. With ABS's electronic platforms, medical practice can expect a one-stop-shop approach that meets all their billing and accounts receivables management needs.

Minimal IT requirements are required to utilize these services. Requirements include a PC or laptop that runs Windows XP or higher, TWAIN-compliant scanner and high-speed Internet. ABS' IT staff and project managers will take care of the rest including set-up, training and support.
