In today’s healthcare market, physicians have been desperately seeking a solution which will address their reduced reimbursements and increasing costs. Medical Office Software is pleased to announce a solution to help physicians increase their revenue by utilizing technologies which streamline their processes and billing procedures.

MOS has been a leader in the sales and installation of computerized solutions for physicians in South Florida since 1984. These solutions have improved the physician’s efficiencies in the billing, collecting and electronic filing of claims, using the latest technologies available. They are known for providing first-class service and support to thousands of users in South Florida for the financial accounting systems they have developed.

In an effort to provide physicians with a comprehensive clinical solution (Electronic Medical Records) MOS has partnered with MedcomSoft, a leading supplier of EMR software throughout the United States. Ken Barnes, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, has spearheaded MOS’s EMR division over the past year-and-a-half. Barnes explains, “We have done our research over the past year and evaluated many different systems. We felt that MedcomSoft Record is the most comprehensive software solution available in today’s marketplace. This solution fit all of the needs to fully automate the clinical side of a physician practice. In addition to the clinical aspect of the product, it also has a fully integrated practice management (financial) component built into it as well. It automatically does the correct coding and fully documents the visit. This full documentation is designed to prevent and defend frivolous lawsuits and also provides the physician the government-mandated documentation for billing and HIPAA regulations.”

Based in Toronto, the designer, MedcomSoft Inc., develops and markets software solutions that change the way the healthcare industry captures, manages, and exchanges patient information. Powered by MEDCIN, MedcomSoft Record has one of the largest numerically codified medical vocabularies in the world. By using MedcomSoft Record, healthcare providers can record patient data using an easy point-and-click system. It reduces the time and effort required to produce documentation compliant with today’s rules and regulations, and is able to reduce costs and risks—all of which result in better quality of patient care and increased billing productivity. True efficiency can only occur by implementing a fully integrated automated solution. MedcomSoft Record is a comprehensive software solution that enables healthcare providers to use one single platform to achieve automation of the majority of the tasks required for the management of their patients and practices. This includes an Advanced Integrated Practice Management System, an Electronic Medical Record System, an Order Entry System, a Document Management System, a Referral & Authorization Management System, MedcomSoft Portable Chart, and a variety of integrated tools for clinical decision support, coding and compliance checking for medical necessity.

Regarding the software, Barnes said, “Not all EMR solutions are equal. Very few systems in the marketplace currently utilize a codified medical vocabulary. This technology does not rely on text-based phrases and allows for direct correlation of patient outcomes. In the future, all EMR solutions will eventually use a numerically coded standard in order for the systems to seamlessly speak to each other. MedcomSoft is one of the few companies that has developed the system from the ground up to this standard. This puts them years ahead of the competition and will eliminate the need to replace the system in the future for a system that adheres to the new standards.”

Physicians need to be aware that HIPAA addresses the need for computerized electronic medical records, and there are current initiatives to develop guidelines that all physicians will be required to adhere to in the future. EMR systems will certainly rapidly replace the paper-based systems that 90 percent of physicians use today. Physicians will find that deployment of these solutions will provide a direct impact to the amount of time they will have to practice medicine. By significantly improving efficiencies within the practice, EMR solutions typically reduce the physicians’ workload by hours each day. Physician practices will also benefit from the reduction of rapidly increasing overhead costs that have had a direct impact on their profitability. As a leader in healthcare automation, MOS will provide your practice with a turnkey solution of hardware and software that will enable you to take control of your practice’s profitability again.
