ADS Positions Woodbridge Medical Associates for CPC Initiative Success.
Paramus, NJ, USA (July 24, 2013) — Advanced Data Systems (ADS) announces an innovative Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) initiative dashboard for its MedicsDocAssistant electronic health record (EHR) system that automates reporting for reimbursements through Medicare’s CPC initiative program. CPC offers financial incentives to primary care practices in designated states and regions that meet criteria for enhanced care coordination. The ADS dashboard automatically tracks and reports on all required criteria needed by the practice to achieve CPC initiative compliance.
Lillian Greco, practice administrator for Woodbridge Medical Associates (WMA) (Woodbridge, NJ) and an early dashboard user notes, “The ADS built-in CPC initiative dashboard is extremely well thought-out and valuable. It is helping us track CPC initiative requirements effortlessly and today, we are well positioned for CPC initiative success. I am very familiar with the marketplace and have not seen many other systems with MedicsDocAssistant’s CPC capabilities.”
Ms. Greco notes that all four of WMA’s physicians received Stage 1 Meaningful Use (MU) Medicare incentives using the MedicsDocAssistant EHR. Unlike MU requirements which apply to individual physician reporting, the CPC initiative requires practice-wide reporting, making compliance significantly more complex.
WMA has been a MedicsDocAssistant EHR user since 2006. The practice also uses the Medics practice management (PM) system from ADS for billing, EDI, scheduling and reporting. “The EHR and PM from ADS operate as a single, unified solution covering WMA’s business and clinical requirements,” noted Ms. Greco. “Our practice also used MedicsDocAssistant EHR to attain NCQA-recognition as a Patient Centered Medical Home.”
“Primary care practices that are interested in the CPC initiative, or those that are having difficulties in doing so with their current EHR, should consider MedicsDocAssistant EHR. It is an excellent system for capturing and reporting Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs) for both the Meaningful Use (MU) program and the CPC Initiative,” Ms. Greco said.
David Barzillai, President of ADS, said, “It is gratifying to know that WMA, which is a very progressive practice as evidenced by their desire to become compliant with the CPC initiative and by their PCMH status, has been able to use systems from ADS to help achieve both. We congratulate WMA and consider it a privilege to be working with them as their automation solutions provider.”
Over 30,000 providers rely on interoperable systems from ADS.
