What We Know: The Great EHR Debate

So what is the best solution for EHR (Electronic Health Records)? Sure, there are lots of things to consider, but for providers, all the legislation and buzz about issues is really making things more complicated than they need to be. Getting down to the nuts and bolts of it all: Which is patient documentation and information sharing…you have the following options to choose from:

• A/ Point and Click
• B/ Dictation
• C/ Speech Recognition
• D/ All of the above

Well, our answer is “D.” Point and click, dictation or speech recognition, it’s all good. At MxSecure, we know the foundation of a successful EHR is whatever method works best for you. We know that forcing a one-size-fits-all solution is one of the reasons so many traditional EHR implementations bog down or fail. So we don’t do it.

If you prefer dictation like 80% of providers, we’re not going to make you change the way you document. There’s no need. That’s why we can promise that you and your staff will be more productive from Day One. Because MxChart works the way YOU already do, just better. You just have more tools in your toolbox. Implement them all at once, or ease into them. Whatever feels right.

Of course, using all the available tools means better workflow and reduced costs in the traditionally high areas like document management, patient orders, and followup. Plus you get more time to provide higher quality of care while you maximize and speed revenue.

What You Need to Know: HIPAA, HITECH and Meaningful Use

It’s our job to worry about all of the regulatory stuff, not yours. And when it comes to HIPAA regulations, CCHIT Certification and meaningful use, we’re right on top of any new developments, which are quickly implemented within our user base. We’ll always alert you to anything you need to be aware of, and any actions required on your part, in plain English, not legalese.

So here’s the most important thing you need to know: You can trust that MxChart will not only be easy to use, but also meet or exceed ALL requirements for practices to qualify for stimulus dollars available through the HITECH Act. Bottom line: With MxChart, you will be more productive from Day One. That’s our promise to you.
