Healthcare and Technology
Deciphering the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
The benefits of EHR are many. Health care providers face several challenges today – increased patient load, increased documentation, compliance, malpractice and more. Patients, too, are affected – they are shouldering more of the burden for their healthcare. EHR can offset many of those challenges by easing access to information, improving practice efficiency and ultimate improving quality of care.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) mandates investment in “the infrastructure necessary to allow for and promote the electronic exchange and use of health information for each individual in the United States” which includes the “development and adoption of appropriate certified electronic health records” by healthcare providers.
If you need help understanding what the Federal EHR mandates mean to your practice or medical institution, as well as incentives that may be available to you, contact Intertwine Systems. In addition to EHR and practice management solutions, we can provide guidance on which solution is right for you, assistance with migrating your data, training for your staff and support once your system is up and running.
Analyze
Intertwine has a history of understanding an organization's unique goals, culture and niche or market position. Intertwine's professional consultants leverage insight gained from decades of combined experience to recommend and deliver technological solutions that meet today's challenges and scale to meet future challenges as well. In the healthcare space, we have a deep understanding of compliance specifications and usability.
Recommend
Intertwine is unique because we not only are able to analyze your needs but have the ability to either recommend an “off the shelf” system, provide a custom solution or a combination of the two. No two health care providers are the same, why should you be forced to choose a “one size fits all” solution?
Implement
Successful implementation of an electronic medical solution requires a comprehensive plan that ensures total adoption of the system by your organization’s users. Intertwine understands your organization may face challenges in this area because of geographical and skill disparity. We will work with you to draft a plan that will make everyone in your organization feel comfortable about the new technology and embrace its benefits for both the organization and its patients.
Support
Our systems come fully documented with client training included. Intertwine can provide initial and ongoing support of your new technology either in person or via web / phone conference or email. We also offer training programs with materials that organizations can adopt and implement on their own.
