Posted on: Wednesday, 29 March 2006, 12:01 CST
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- SmartCare Family Medical Centers (SmartCare) has selected Bond Technologies to provide a comprehensive customized electronic health records solution for its patients. The solution is integrated into each new SmartCare facility to optimize the quality of patient care.
The HIPAA-compliant Bond Clinician(TM) EHR (Electronic Health Record) makes available the most current treatment guidelines and protocols from industry leader Thomson MICROMEDEX. The system features e-prescribing and lab order entry capabilities, a secure patient portal, document imaging and many more functions. Consumers benefit from secure, Web-based access to their personal health information through a patient portal, streamlined health monitoring and dialogue with their regular physician.
Through the use of Bond Clinician, SmartCare medical staff is able to quickly and accurately evaluate patient concerns and determine the proper course of treatment. To ensure continuity of care, SmartCare allows timely and accurate sharing of patient records with family physicians and other appropriate medical providers with patient consent. Patients also can pre-register online for a SmartCare visit by completing an interactive questionnaire. The information then is imported into the patient chart, which staff members access and update during the patient visit.
"Technology can vastly improve a company's ability to deliver a remarkable customer experience, and we're excited about bringing that reality to the medical services field," said Lawrence W. Hay, chief executive officer of SmartCare. "Electronic Health Records provide a portable, electronic means to track patient health information and are an important tool for consumers and healthcare providers alike in ensuring seamless care," Hay added. "The use of Bond Clinician allows us to deliver quality, efficient care, to work closely with other providers to ensure our patients have timely access to all levels of healthcare and to empower consumers in becoming advocates for their own health and wellness."
"SmartCare's unique clinical and business requirements demand a complete hardware and software solution, allowing for instant and secure access to data concerning the clinical, financial and workflow aspects of their organization," said Travis Bond, president of Bond Technologies. "Bond Clinician(TM) EHR Enterprise Edition meets and exceeds the extensive requirements of healthcare in the retail setting, including centralized management of an unlimited number of locations, medical protocols, point-of-sale transactions, video monitoring and patient education, as well as sophisticated clinical and business intelligence tools. Through this partnership, SmartCare is able to electronically route prescriptions in seconds, provide secure patient portal access, and maintain the quality and efficiency of patient care in each of its facilities."
