EMR System Increases Patient Compliance

An electronic health record (EMR) platform facilitates provider adoption while improving quality, streamlining workflow, reducing costs, and improving patient observance of treatment regimens.
The AssistMed Duet and Orchestra integrated Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms include a certified EMR, a personal health record and patient adherence-management module, a practice management system, digital pen-forms, dictation with speech recognition, and natural language processing. The core of the system is AssistMed Exchange, an EMR that facilitates all functions for those who dictate, transcriptionists, editors, and managers. It is highly scalable and can be interfaced with virtually any other healthcare information system (HIS). The Exchange is the hub for forms integration, document management, research inquiries, coding applications, and other related healthcare management tasks. AssistMed also offers a transcription and editing service that has the advantage of an integrated exchange dictation and transcription platform with back-end speech recognition, which also enables an interface with other information systems.
The Duet and Orchestra integrated software platforms are products of AssistMed (Beverly Hills, CA, USA), and have been certified by the U.S. Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT; Chicago, IL, USA). They also qualify for U.S. federal reimbursement for the adoption of EMR systems before 2015.
"We are committed to providing physicians with an electronic medical records platform that meets or exceeds established standards. Our solution is flexible enough to conform to a physician's existing workflow with a unique technology that leads to faster adoption and higher productivity,” said Leonardo Berezovsky, M.D., CEO of AssistMed.
The American recovery and reinvestment act (ARRA) stimulus package was enacted by the 111th United States Congress in February 2009, based largely on proposals made by President Barack Obama and is intended to provide a stimulus to the U.S. economy in the wake of the economic downturn. The measures are nominally worth US$787 billion, of which $19 billion is earmarked for healthcare technology. The act also includes federal tax cuts, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions, and domestic spending in education, health care, and infrastructure, including the energy sector. As of the end of August 2009, 19% of the stimulus had been outlaid or gone to American taxpayers or business in the form of tax reductions.
