Hiya! :) I'm Jess, Bradford-Scott's Marketing Manager. I haven't been here long but I can tell you that I love my job! It's nice to finally work for a company that is truly focused on exceptional customer service and products. I work with a great group of people and there is never a dull moment! It's my job to promote Bradford-Scott so that others may experience what our tag-line states...
On a personal note, I am happily married and originally from the small town of Yorktown, Indiana - GO TIGERS! I enjoy acting like a goof, shopping, spending time with my family and friends, reading, going to concerts, living on the edge at amusement parks, softball, and horseback riding.
I look forward to bringing you more information about Bradford-Scott, our products, and the latest in the industry. Until then.... GO COLTS!!
As a women's health provider, you face two unique sets of challenges... You are responsible for everything from long-term preventive care to managing acute and chronic health conditions. At the same time, you are required to document and analyze visit information to track pregnancy progress and manage risk. Intergy EHR by Sage, in conjunction with Intergy by Sage practice management, provides the tools you need to help you manage your business and care for your patients more effectively.Contact us today for more information or to schedule your free consultation.
Everybody wants to know just how early they can get their ARRA EHR stimulus money so let's take a look.... Considering that you already have a "certified EHR" and you have been showing "meaningful use" of it for 90 days, here's what you may be able to expect...
Medicaid - When it comes to Medicaid, it is up to each state to determine how they will pay out the ARRA EHR stimulus money. Sure, some will most likely try to keep it as to close to the Medicare model as possible, but we'd be silly to thinkthat some states wouldn't go in a completely different direction.
Medicare - The earliest that we'll see Medicare ARRA EHR stimulus money is in the spring of 2011. Remember, you have to prove "meaningful use" of your "certified EHR" for a minimum of 90 days to receive the incentives.
So what does this mean for you? If you are going after Medicare payments, and you want your first check of $18,000 as early as spring 2011, you need to purchase, implement, fully train and be using your new EHR by fall 2010. If you want to have that done, you need to be purchasing now. It will take months to install and train you for EHR, and there are already lines forming. So what are you waiting for?

75% of the public supports the movement of electronic health records, but will the technology really make us safer? Here are my top 5 favorite reasons for thinking that they will....
Less trips to the doctor's office - When we can email our doctors instead of having to set appointments for every little thing, like a prescription refill, we will be saving time and money! Less time taken off of work, less money spent in gas, and less time spent waiting in the lobby will always be positives in my book.
Access to your medical records on vacation - With EHR technology being rapidly embraced, it's just a matter of time before doctors and hospitals will be able to share our medical records. If I'm off getting married in Vegas, and I need to seek medical attention, my doctor from the Hoosier state can send my info with a touch of a button. I don't know about you, but I don't like having to re-take tests and blood work if I don't have to!
No more leaving messages and calling back for lab results - How many times have you called for your results, only to be told to call back later? Wouldn't it be nice if we could just log on and see the results for ourselves? Very nice!
No more hauling X-rays and medical files - If we are referred to a specialist, that physician will need our past records, tests, and/or X-rays. But what id they could just retrieve them like a digital picture? No more sorting through papers, waiting for faxes, or hauling them yourself.
Prescriptions - When prescriptions are transmitted electronically, the system automatically checks for interactions and correct dosage. Do you go to more then one doctor for more than one reason? Now you don't have to worry if the pharmacist will catch it. Electronic prescriptions have saved millions already, and the doctor gets a kick-back right now from Medicare, what's not to love?
If your physician is not taking advantage of electronic health records, it's time for you to ask why. With the ARRA(Stimulus) incentives that are available, it has never been a better time to make a move.

Why consider an Electronic Medical Records System? • Improved Coding - With better documentation tools, your coding will be more accurate. Where there is more accuracy, better patient care and, in most cases, higher reimbursements will follow.
• Storage - Where are you putting those charts? Keeping them on-site takes up too much space and keeping them off-site takes up too much of your money. Use your space for another exam room and use your money for whatever you want, not renting the unnecessary.
• e-Prescribing - Did you know that, on average, your staff spends 10 minutes handling prescription refill calls alone? How many of these calls are they taking each day? You're paying them how much per hour?
• Malpractice Premiums - Did you know that some insurance carriers offer discounts to those providers using EHR? It's true... Some even offer discounts all the way up to 20%, and for you specialty practices out there, this type of saving would more than cover the cost of your EHR.
• No More Chart Pulls - With an average cost of $5 per chart pull, how much money would your practice save? The average is 30 chart pulls per day, what would you do with an extra $39,150 per year?
If you wait until you are forced to implement an Electronic Health Records system, will you end up with one that you have no control over? Call us today to view a demo of Intergy EHR. Intergy EHR meets all of the Stage 1 criteria to receive your incentives.
It's not a question of "if", it's a question of "when".

The use of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) is effectively preventing adverse drug reactions and reducing medical costs, according to researchers from Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
A recent study, posted in Archives of Internal Medicine, found that 7.3% of e-prescribing attempts resulted in alerts. Of the 279,476 alerts that were studied, physicians overrode 91.1% of them. Even though the electronic prescriptions technology was over-ridden in those cases, it still helped prevent 402 adverse drug issues. Here are more things that those alerts likely prevented:
3 deaths
14 permanent disabilities
31 temporary disabilities
39 hospital admissions
34 emergency room visits
267 physician office visits
This study was taken from only the first half of 2006 Massachusetts prescription data, and it is estimated that the use ofelectronic prescriptions ended with an overall savings of $402,619.
Electronic prescribing is a ARRA incentive requirement. Sage Intergy EHR V5.5 is CCHIT 2008 certified and includes this feature, and Bradford-Scott also offers a stand-alone version as well. Contact us today.

Are you actually getting paid for the work that you do? With the increased popularity of electronic health records, practices are streamlining paperwork, reducing transcription costs, increasing patient volume and more efficiently writing prescriptions. All of these are crucial to daily work flow and cost control, but is your practice, in fact, increasing it's revenue?
Current studies show that approximately 40% of E&M visits are under-coded by physicians, i.e. the level visit coded is less than the actual level of work performed and documented. Physicians will often deliberately under-code to avoid audits, thereby leaving thousands of dollars on the table. This is an obvious disservice to the provider and ultimately only benefits the insurance companies. EHR can be the solution to this problem. Top EHR vendors offer an E/M coding solution that is actually built-in to the patient visit, thereby allowing the software to suggest a code after documentation is completed. There is, in all cases, subjective data that will be entered by the physician, but the completed entry will reflect it as part of the permanent record.
A recent 2-year study was made of a multi-specialty group of 25 providers. The coding of their newly implemented EHR system reflected the following:
Compliance increased from 72% to 94%;
revenue increased 12% overall; and,
on average, each physician saw 8% less patients during the first year of implementation.
If implemented properly, EHR will be the tool you need to insure that you're paid for all of your work. (For more information about coding, contact Bradford-Scott Data Corporation at 317-713-2075.)
