You may register right now for stimulus payments of $18,000 this year, which you will receive if you have sufficient Medicare or Medicaid volume, take the steps and make the changes described below. We are here to help you qualify with certainty and at the lowest possible cost to your practice. Health Care Reform is real and, with or without stimulus money, you will need to transform your practice.
Like you, we at EMRlogic have been thinking and planning extensively how to help you adapt to Health Care Reform. Many believe it is only a matter of implementing new software; unfortunately, it is not that simple. Eye care, under Health Care Reform, is now a full-fledged participant in the world of health care delivery, no longer a disconnected player on the periphery. You now need many of the technologies and connectivity formerly associated with the largest health care delivery networks. This raises the bar for the systems required to support your practice from the departmental level to enterprise.
Fully-integrated software solutions are the new norm versus disparate systems for each area of the business. Dashboard analytics are replacing standard reporting. Document scanning, search and retrieval is a new must-have for the transition phase, likely to be a 10-year period. Image databases must now also be integrated into the patient exam record, which in turn drives new complexities in multi-site environments. The same applies for all instruments used across multiple locations. And, as we know, e-prescribing is now mandated and must also be incorporated into the exam record. The list goes on as we consider patient kiosks and portals, mobile input devices, and more. We believe reform and change is inevitable and our goal is to help you be a beneficiary of Health Care Reform, not its victim.
