It’s that time again to recognize the new additions to the EMR and HIPAA advertising fold. Plus, a couple EMR and HIPAA advertisers have renewed and so I want to thank them as well.
New EMR Advertiser:
InterSystems – This is a really interesting company that works to integrate all your various healthcare application even across large geographic boundaries. Their software powers RHIO in Rhode Island and Long Island and they just recently announced that the Swedish National EHR will use InterSystems Healthshare™ software.
I’m also happy to have renewed EMR and HIPAA’s relationship with Medscribbler. I’m glad that I’ve been able to form some long term relationships with Medscribbler and appreciate their support in keeping the lights on here at EMR and HIPAA. A few other advertisers and renewals are in the works, but that will have to wait at least until next month.
Thanks also to all those who have signed up for the EMR and HIPAA email list, rss feed and those that are following me on Twitter.
We’re in a really exciting time for healthcare IT and electronic health records in particular. I’m glad to be apart of it. I hope I can continue to add value to those who read this site. If there’s something else you’d like me to cover please let me know. Luckily, most of you aren’t shy about telling me when they disagree. I love it when you do. Those are the best chances for myself and others to really learn. Let’s keep the running EMR commentary going.
PatientNOW Medical Record Suite 5.0 and Medical Spa Suite 3.0 provide text messaging for email appointment reminders and from the appointment screen. This has worked nicely as patients need multiple reminders. We support email reminders, text page reminders, post cards, and phone calls. Our reminders are based on appointment type. They are completely automatic. We haven’t seen a downside at this time. They don’t convey any data about the patient or a medical condition.
