Newsroom

At Optimed Software Corporation, we know that medical administrative staff are invaluable resources. Without the talented Medical Office Assistants, Transcriptionists, and Clinic Managers working with them, physicians could not deliver the same high quality patient care.

So in honour of Administrative Professionals Day, we would like to say "Thank You!" to all the great staff we deal with on a day-to-day basis.

Once they completed their residency in 2005, Dr. Jennifer Klinke and Dr. Julie Lee knew they wanted to begin their practice with an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. Drs. Klinke and Lee chose Accuro™ EMR for many reasons including Optimed's guaranteed crisis and trouble shooting response times.

Immediately they were able to gain efficiency because Endocrinology relies heavily on blood tests and Accuro&trade EMR automatically uploads these results into the system to be reviewed by the physician with a click of the mouse. With another click of the mouse, the test results are then attached to the patient's virtual chart so that a patient can be shown their progress using Accuro's auto-generated graphs.

Using Accuro&trade, some of the benefits Drs. Klinke and Lee have received are:

• Elimination of redundancy when entering patient demographics
  
• Able to share one MOA between two full time physicians
  
• Documentation of all prescriptions and their refills
  

Drs. Klinke and Lee said, "We would highly recommend Accuro to our peers."

In response to the British Columbia Ministry of Health's request for proposals (RFP) for their Electronic Medical Records Project, Optimed Software Corporation has submitted a proposal.

The RFP was issued on February 19th, 2007 by the BC Ministry of Health's Physician Information Technology Office (PITO). This request went out to all the vendors in the EMR industry. From the proposals submitted, PITO will choose a final list of six EMR vendors who will be endorsed by the province. Eligible physicians will then be able to receive funding, as per their agreement with the BCMA, for the software of the approved vendors. For more information on PITO and the funding specifics, please visit www.bcma.org.

Optimed, as an active participant in the BC EMR community, is now eagerly awaiting PITO's decision. Initial results are expected by the end of April 2007.

Optimed's web accessible clinic management software, Accuro™, was physician designed to adapt to practice work flows and seamlessly integrate all components. Accuro™ EMR automates scheduling, communication, billing, and the use of electronic medical records to increase efficiency, security, and accuracy in order to elevate the quality of patient care while optimizing physician profitability.
