BETHPAGE, N.Y. & CHICAGO (May 19, 2006) –
Allscripts (Nasdaq:MDRX), the leading provider of clinical software, connectivity and information solutions that physicians use to improve healthcare, today announced that Integrated Medical Professionals has selected HealthMatics(R) Office to automate clinical and financial operations for its 31 physicians. The solution from A4 Health Systems, an Allscripts subsidiary, integrates the HealthMatics Electronic Health Record (EHR) with the Ntierprise(R) Practice Management System (PMS), and will enable the clinical and administrative sides of the practice to work hand-in-hand for better communication and improved accuracy.
Integrated Medical Professionals is a multi-specialty group composed of 13 different practices on Long Island. The practices combined to leverage technology costs across a broader base and to use automation to improve patient care and drive practice efficiencies.
“We want to provide the best possible therapeutic care to our patients and operate our offices as efficiently as possible,” said Price Dunaway, Chief Operating Officer of Integrated Medical Professionals. “The only way to get the efficiencies that you need to run a successful practice today is to have an Electronic Health Record that is fully integrated with practice management. We believe HealthMatics Office is that system.”
HealthMatics Office will provide instant access to patient records for Integrated Medical Professionals physicians and business office staff. Built on a single intelligent platform, the Allscripts solution features robust clinical tools such as health maintenance, decision support, medical necessity checking and electronic prescribing.
Integrated Medical Professionals selected Allscripts both for its powerful EHR-PMS platform and because HealthMatics Office easily interfaces with various technology platforms across the different specialties in the group.
“Clearly Allscripts not only had the platform but the technology background and desire to integrate with our other IT systems,” said Theodore Felderman, MD, chair of the IT committee at Integrated Medical Professionals. “But it’s not just the product that convinced us. It was the people behind the product. Allscripts is a company that’s willing to step up and partner with us to get the job done. We were pleasantly surprised to find, at all levels of the company, a real willingness and a desire to help us achieve our goals.”
Felderman said Integrated Medical Professionals will implement Ntierprise PMS in all 13 locations by July 1, in just six weeks’ time. Deployment of HealthMatics EHR will follow soon after the practice management solution’s implementation.
“We are excited to partner with Integrated Medical Professionals to deliver the most efficient, effective medicine to the patients of Long Island,” said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts. “Urology and other specialties are a key focus of our organization and having strong partners is critical to ongoing development of both software and content. Our mission is to provide physicians with tools that are so effective, they become indispensable to the practice of medicine.”
