MedSym Solutions announces that Blood and Cancer Center in Florence, Alabama has selected the MedSym Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management (PM) system for its oncology practice.
The Blood and Cancer Center was founded by Anthony J. Kalliath, M.D. who has over 26 years practicing hematology/oncology in Florence. In the past the practice used another practice management system, but patient records were still stored in paper charts. The practice desired a fully integrated system that can not only bring more efficiency and accuracy to its record keeping, but also can improve other office functions. The MedSym fully integrated, ONC-ATCB certified EHR and PM, with its user-friendly interface and prudent cost, addressed the specific needs of a busy oncology practice. The MedSym EHR and PM offers solutions for laboratory integration, seamless charting, medication management, patient communication, scheduling and much more.
According to Dr. Kalliath, “The charting process will become quicker, more consolidated and easier to manage through the transition from paper to electronic records. The availability of oncology templates, over 300 regimens and ICD/CPT codes for disease classifications will also aid the practice in keeping organized and uniform records. Since lab results are an integral part of the practice operations, the practice will be utilizing the lab interface capabilities of the MedSym system.”
In all, the MedSym EHR and Practice Management system will allow the practice to successfully manage charting, scheduling, billing, claim filing, and many other functions under one web-based and easy-to-use system. In addition to the system’s practical benefits, MedSym Solutions EHR and PM sets up the practice to meet the “Meaningful Use” criteria as outlined by the Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Meeting these requirements will allow the practice to be eligible for the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) stimulus package incentive program.
“Based on what we researched, I felt MedSym’s combination on service and extensive oncology functionality would give us the most flexible and customizable EHR and PM solution for our practice,” said Stacy Jones, Practice Administrator.
“We are grateful to have been selected by another leading oncology practice. We’re looking forward to working with the Blood and Cancer Center to streamline their practice using our comprehensive oncology content,” states Preston James, Executive Vice President of MedSym. “Our relationship with Blood and Cancer is about delivering results in the form of improved profitability and saving time. Our commitment to our clients is to ensuring their success and enhancing the quality of patient care at the same time.”
