Schryver Selects Medicity EHR; Service Provider Schryver Medical of Denver Selected Medicity ProAccess EHR to Help Make Ordering Easier and Clinical Results More Accessible to Physicians

Posted on: Tuesday, 20 June 2006, 21:00 CDT

Medicity Inc. today announced that Schryver Medical has selected Medicity's ProAccess Electronic Health Record (EHR) software to allow clinicians in its five-state market area to access aggregated patient information from a true longitudinal patient record. It will also allow them to order imaging and laboratory tests through a Schryver-branded physician Web portal. Schryver sells ancillary medical services and supplies to long-term care facilities in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and Washington. The ProAccess EHR will give the firm a service-oriented, data-exchange infrastructure with a variety of options for publishing patient information to physician practices and partner organizations, including the ability to integrate with EMRs, send to fax machines, and automatically print new results.

"Thousands of physicians depend upon our services to provide quality care for their patients," explained Jeff McBride, Schryver president. "Our decision to extend electronic ordering capability and access to clinical data to the field is an effort to improve our service to physicians and our ability to communicate with them. This decision supports our dynamic growth and our desire to continue our service to hundreds of nursing homes and assisted living communities, as well as the physicians that take care of the elderly in these settings. Schryver recognizes that Medicity will bring them an essential value-added service that will allow them to expand across the country in what can be described as one of the fastest-growing segments of health care."

"Schryver is a great example of the variety of organizations that can benefit from an EHR," noted Kipp Lassetter, Medicity chairman and CEO. "Not only will ProAccess allow the company to give physicians access to online ordering and real-time results, it will also improve physician service quality, increase physician convenience, improve communication, and reduce the overall cost of customer support. This generates a significant ROI."

"Medicity was very flexible in dealing with our requirements. In addition to tailoring the solutions, they designed a pricing model that met our needs," said McBride. "They will also host the solution and provide continuing technical support to our IT group," he added.

Schryver's new EHR will initially include two bi-directional systems interfaces, acquiring data from its laboratory and radiology systems and sending order information back to those systems seamlessly.
