Nightingale Preventive Care and HealthFusion(R) have entered into an agreement where Nightingale medical providers will use HealthFusion’s products while treating patients in Kmart, in locations that Nightingale has leased space to provide primary preventive care. The use of a Certified EHR Software System advances quality of care and allows medical providers to qualify for Medicare and EHR incentive stimulus funds.
"Choosing a web-based EHR that is HIPAA compliant, native to the Apple iPad(R), and can be used on any PC or laptop, was important in our decision to enter into this exciting agreement. HealthFusion’s MediTouch(R) is an EHR that is easy to use, adapts to the Nurse Practitioner’s or Doctor’s workflow, and has been recognized by J.D. Power & Associates, as well as a member benefit from national medical associations," said Mildred Scharf-Ehrenfeld, President of Nightingale, and a Nurse Practitioner who has been serving the community for 27 years.
MediTouch is an EHR conceived by doctors and designed for practices of all sizes. The software offers the fastest, most intuitive, touch screen charting interface with quality features such as specific Chief Complaint Forms and Care Plans. This all-in-one EHR is fully integrated with HealthFusion’s Practice Management System, Clearinghouse, and Patient Portal solutions. Since the software is in the cloud, MediTouch works anywhere with Internet access, and the unique Touch Technology empowers providers to focus on their patients in every office visit.
“We are excited to be the Electronic Medical Record solution to the Nightingale / Kmart relationship. The convenience of having quality medical service in neighborhood locations with extended hours is a service to the community. MediTouch EHR is part of the HealthFusion, Inc. suite of products, and we are proud that all of our software is conceived, built, and serviced in the US,” said Dr. Sol Lizerbram, co-founder and Chairman of HealthFusion, Inc.
HealthFusion’s Stimulus Ready(R) MediTouch EHR assists physicians in complying with meaningful use regulations issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the National Coordinator in order to qualify for the $44,000 Medicare or $64,000 Medicaid cash bonuses established in the 2009 Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, which is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The MediTouch EHR Meaningful Use Report Card(R) feature assists doctors in tracking their progress towards the stimulus funds.
