iMedica Corporation Launches Its Patient Relationship Manager 2008 at MGMA's 2007 Annual Conference

Posted on: Tuesday, 30 October 2007, 09:01 CDT

iMedica Corporation, a leader and developer of healthcare software solutions for physician practices, today announced its Patient Relationship Manager™ (PRM) 2008 at the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) 2007 Annual Conference in Philadelphia. PRM 2008 is the latest version of iMedica's award-winning electronic health records (EHR) and practice management (PM) solution.

"Our new PRM 2008 further validates our leadership in leveraging the latest technology, supporting current standards and providing enhancements recommended by our group practice clients to improve their clinical, financial and operational performance," said iMedica's COO Neil Simon. These enhancements include fully integrated PQRI reporting, robust medication and vaccine management functions, reimbursement maximization tools and an advanced collections module.

Built-in PQRI (Physician Quality Reporting Initiative) Rules

Easy-to-use PQRI capability enables participating physicians to benefit from PQRI's higher Medicare reimbursement through efficient, timely Medicare reporting.

Code Validation and Reimbursement Maximization

The Code Validation functionality, powered by the 3M™ Edit Engine, helps medical practices improve compliance, reduce time-consuming claims rework and resubmissions, capture missed revenue opportunities, improve revenue cycle workflow efficiency, support front-end documentation, and enhance patient satisfaction.

Accounts Receivable (A/R) Management

Enhanced, comprehensive accounts receivable (A/R) management for both patient and payer collections includes customizable responsible-party follow-up functions that calculate late fees and change account statuses with queued escalating dunning letters. Follow-up tasking notifies collectors of their delinquencies and defaulted payment plan agreements and users about overdue or unfulfilled claim payments.

Medication and Vaccine Management

A filtering and sorting tool that tracks and categorizes a patient's active and historical medication history, automates interaction and formulary checking, and leverages flow sheet data to provide a graphical representation that correlates disease and medication management over time. Includes a fully customizable vaccine administration record following CDC guidelines that allows users to input default settings for accurate, quick and easy documentation and vaccine administration.

Patient-Provider Tracking

An automated tasking and workflow tool that enhances the ability to manage referrals and tracks whether requested care has been performed.

PRM 2008's single-application, single-database solution, which is built on Microsoft's .NET technology, builds upon iMedica's PRM 2006 version 6.0, which is a CCHIT CertifiedSM product for CCHIT Ambulatory EHR 2006. CCHIT is the recognized authority in the United States for certifying EHR products -- an independent, not-for-profit, private organization that sets the benchmark for healthcare information technology.
