Another day, another article about spiraling health care costs. CNN.com reports that Blue Cross' attempted 39% rate increase in California was called an example of excess by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. But this was not the worst. Sebelius also said, "America's largest insurance companies have requested premium increases of 56 percent in Michigan..."
When will this end? I know my rates have gone up drastically each year while my coverage seems to decrease. Luckily, next week President Obama will sit down with congressional leaders from both parties in an effort to work out differences and move health care reform forward.
In another example of proposed reform, don't forget that the
American Recovery & Reinvestment Act provided incentives for early adoption of electronic health records. If a physician's office is making meaningful use of EMR systems by 2011, huge rebates are available from the US Government.
Intergy EHR by Sage v5.5 is CCHIT certified, and with its help you'll be able to qualify for meaningful use. To learn more about this product and
Bradford-Scott Data Corporation's service and support, contact us via this blog. Stop the spiral!
Cheers,

There has been a lot of belly aching about the recent snow storms that have hit the Midwest. Yes, snow storms do get old, but I remember what it was like growing up in the 70's and 80's with blizzards here in Indiana. In the more recent years our winters here in Indiana have been very mild compared with those of my childhood. And although I am in the Federal protected age group, I am not that old. I guess one thing that you can count on in Indiana is that there will be some snow storms each and every winter season.

Everything you hear in the news today is about the H1N1 virus. While the news media may be over blowing the situation, I do know that there have been cases in my wife's classroom, and my daughter's best friend had it last week. As flu season nears, the world is preparing for the worst. Vaccinations are being prepared and precautions are being suggested.
With the pediatrics EMR portion of
Intergy EHR by Sage, you can track immunization history including the H1N1 immunization. This electronic medical record system can provide you with the documentation you need to keep up with this quickly-evolving scenario.
Intergy by Sage, our medical office billing software, will make sure you quickly get payment for the immunizations you perform. It can also interface with hospital information systems and CHIRP to submit information about immunizations you've performed.
Bradford-Scott Data Corporation is committed to help our physician office customers keep up with the H1N1 developments.

Many high school and college football teams are having their homecoming game over the next few weekends. We went to Pike's homecoming game last weekend and I'm going to Purdue's homecoming tomorrow! I tried to apply the word homecoming to a medical software system environment and here's what I came up with:

As far as electronic medical records systems go, I know that Intergy EHR by Sage is great. But I decided to investigate just how great the rest of the industry thinks it is. I checked out some EMR reviews and found one that compared the major players in the industry. You can find this article

I've been called a lot of things in my lifetime (some of which I know about): Frugal, cheap, the coupon king, etc. Mostly, I look for deals. When I want something I feel like I have to get the best deal or I don't feel good about the purchase. Don't be fooled, I still like quality things. I don't buy generic soda, I have several computers and a couple HDTVs at home, and I like tech-toys that make my life more fun. Being a deal-hunter and settling for second-best don't have to be one in the same.
If you're a medical practice in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, or Michigan, you have an opportunity now to get a great deal on a great product. Our federal government is offering you the deal of all deals (or stimulus or bailout or whatever you want to call it). If you purchase an electronic medical records system now, you can qualify for a boatload of rebates.
Remember what I said about weighing a deal against a quality product? If you combine this deal with
Bradford-Scott Data Corporation's EHR Software, Intergy by Sage, you can get the best of both worlds. Our EMR systems have all of the attributes that will help you qualify for the mysterious 'meaningful use' requirements for the rebates, like electronic prescriptions and being CCHIT-certified (Intergy EHR by Sage v5.5). Better yet, why not integrate with our medical billing software, Intergy by Sage.
Most importantly, you'll be getting the best service in the USA. Bradford-Scott has been providing
service and support to medical practices for over 25 years and I've been here for 17 of them. I can vouch that if you grab hold of this deal of a lifetime, you'll be making the right move.
Deal?
With the emergence of President Obama's electronic medical records stimulus package, a great deal of interest has been building for EMR. Now is the time to reap the benefits and change your office to a paperless, organized front-runner in the medical industry. When selecting an EHR system for your office it is important to look for both a powerful product and a company that can stand behind it and help you use it to its potential.
Bradford-Scott Data Corporation has been selling and supporting electronic medical records systems for nearly 10 years. We have dozens of software specialists, hardware engineers, and medical billing experts that will help your office become more efficient and technologically advanced.

The Final Four is upon us. Michigan State shocked me by making the final four, but UConn, Villanova and UNC come as no surprise. Although I haven't been rooting for them all year, I hope Michigan State can find a way to win. They've impressed me this past weekend and definitely look like they can play with the big boys.
The Final Four also made me think about the four medical practice billing software products Bradford-Scott sells and supports:
- Intergy Practice Management System by Sage - Our flagship health care billing software product.
- Intergy EHR. The Electronic Medical Record system providing computerized medical records for many specialties, including OB GYN and Cardiology, offering electronic prescriptions and medical coding software. Our EMR system (Intergy EHR by Sage version 5.5) is CCHIT certified.
- MD Navigator - A Windows-based medical software system that expands on our MENDS product.
- MENDS - A product that I've seen grow over the past 17 years (and it existed way before that). Its electronic billing software was one of the first and it can interface with many electronic health records systems.
Only three games to go in the 2009 NCAA Tourney! You can bet I'll have a beer in my hand this weekend watching some basketball.
The Indianapolis Colts aren't the only winning team in Indiana!
