ADS Debuts Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) Initiative MedicsDocAssistant™ EHR Dashboard

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.

Woodbridge Medical Associates, P.A. (WMA) was founded in 1954 with the goal of providing high quality medical care to the Woodbridge community. The group has since grown into one of the busiest internal medicine practices in the area. WMA offers medical care in general internal medicine and gastroenterology and has received recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). WMA is constantly seeking the most advanced medical techniques to best serve its patients’ needs. WMA’s physicians are on staff at JFK Medical Center and the Perth Amboy division of the Raritan Bay Medical Center. WMA can be contacted by calling 732-634-0036 or by emailing info@woodbridgemed.com.

ADS MedicsConnect™ Automates Transmission of Radiology Reports for Easy Upload to Any EHR

New Advanced Data Systems’ Tool Speeds Electronic Exam Results to Referring Physicians in Vendor Agnostic Format.

Paramus, NJ (July 9, 2013) — Advanced Data Systems (ADS) introduces MedicsConnect, an innovative new tool that automatically transmits radiology reports to referring physicians in a vendor agnostic HL7 format compatible with any electronic health record (EHR) system. The new technology eliminates the need for implementing multiple costly, customized HL7 interfaces, representing a potential cost savings of tens of thousands of dollars for radiologists. Working conveniently from within a radiology information system (RIS), the unique application transmits reports over the Internet to a medical practice’s static IP address using secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) to ensure data safety. Referring physicians can configure their EMRs to automatically download the data to the appropriate patient file.

MedicsConnect supports a radiology practice’s marketing efforts by providing an important extra level of customer service. Reliably and seamlessly, it offers referring physicians convenient access to reports, while eliminating the costs to radiologists of implementing customized HL7 interfaces to accept inbound data at key referrers.

“Hartsdale Diagnostic Imaging has been relying on the radiology solutions from ADS for years for comprehensive, easy-to-use automation tools for management, financials, and radiology EHR. Now with MedicsConnect, we have greatly solidified our referring physicians with its ability to deliver our radiology reports directly to their EHRs,” says user Joseph Casoria, Practice Administrator, Hartsdale Diagnostic Imaging in Hartsdale, NY.

According to David Barzillai, President of ADS, “MedicsConnect is almost effortless from the radiologist’s point of view. In just a few mouse clicks, completed reports are transmitted with the highest level of security in a format any referring physician’s system can read and archive. Finally, sharing electronic radiology reports really is that simple.”

Barzillai points out that with MedicsConnect, communicating electronic reports is as streamlined as faxing and as important a development as automated faxing was 25 years ago. The innovative tool makes it practical and cost-effective for radiologists to provide all the advantages of EHR-compatible radiology reports to referring practices of any size, even to independent practitioners.

MedicsConnect comes integrated into the ADS MedicsRIS™ and is also available as a stand-alone application for integration into any radiology practice’s RIS solution.

About Advanced Data Systems: Advanced Data Systems (ADS) is a leading provider of automation solutions to radiology and medical imaging practices of every size and scope, as well as to radiology revenue cycle management companies. ADS’ MedicsRIS™ is a powerfully comprehensive yet affordable system currently integrated with numerous PACS.

The system is specifically designed to capture medical imaging-related data needed by radiology practices to achieve EHR Meaningful Use (MU). ADS provides timely implementation, comprehensive training and excellent ongoing U.S.-based customer support with updates such as ICD-10 and Stage 2 MU.
