CARRIBEAN BUSINESS , THE VERY BEST IN HEALTH TECHNOLOGY COME TOGETHER OCTOBER 2013 | Page 11

“By doing the work of a full-time employee, CitaMed’s system saves us valuable time and money by managing patients who call or visit our office. Not only does my staff spend less time on the phone, but we’ve seen a dramatic decrease in the number of absences from patients who forget their appointments or fail to notify us of a cancellation. We also like being able to customize the system to meet our specific needs.” Dr. Carlos Martínez, MD Endocrinologist “As a leading company in the healthcare field, DACS gives us the confidence of having all their services and professionals in one place. Not only are they an IT company, they also provide all the essential technical services one would expect from an ally. Because of their backup solutions, we no longer have to worry about production downtime from equipment failures. And with the help of their HIPAA Compliance Team, we have been able to establish all the necessary policies and protocols based on our daily activities. In other words, we have the best security and privacy protection our company needs. I have never met a company that is as committed to its customers as DACS.” "We see 500 patients a month, and by using NeoMed, which contains all the necessary information to maintain an exact medical history of each one of our patients, it allows us to comply to the fullest with Medicare's requirements." Dra. Ana I. Otero Cruz Dr. Carlos A. Vale Colón, President, Centro de Adiestramiento y Desarrollo Educativo, Profesional (CADEP) “With the services of misResultados and the laboratory information system we use at Laboratorio Clínico Gordo, sending electronic results is a fast and easy process. This service allows patients to comfortably receive their results without having to return to the laboratory. Our patients are so confident in the process, they request the service again with every subsequent visit to the lab.” Lcda. Lillian M. Gordo, President, Laboratorio Clínico Gordo Inc. “We contracted ASSERTUS Inc. to be our patient management and electronic billing provider in 2011. Since then, we have seen our ratio of billings to collections go up from 1:62 to 1:98. That is quite an outstanding accomplishment, considering the extremely difficult environment of healthcare reimbursement services. In addition, the configuration of the appointment module included in the application has allowed us to maximize the distribution and allotment of available spaces and timeframes dedicated to patient-doctor encounters, thus increasing our effectiveness in the management of our patient-flow tracks. ProClaim’s seamless integration with our EMR, multiple user options and billing optimization features, as well as its user-friendly interfaces, have made it, in our opinion, a first-class application.” Lcdo. José M. Camacho Rivera, MHSA Administrator Instituto de Ojos y Piel Inc., Carolina, P.R. “As executive director of Hospital Buen Samaritano, it is extremely important to have access to relevant information that allows me to make fast and accurate decisions. When I started using EVOLUTION by Infomedika in 2007, I realized that this powerful tool gave me what I needed without having to rely on a third party. It wasn’t long before I was using the system at its full capacity, with the financial, clinical and operational functions easy to learn. Today, with EVOLUTION satisfying user needs at all leve ls, we have greatly improved our service to our patients. The EVOLUTION suite of modules has also enabled us to be very advanced in complying with all necessary local and federal regulations as well. Without a doubt, EVOLUTION is a great tool that has enabled us to improve our processes, access the information we need, and satisfy our users and patients.” Lcdo. Elyonel Pontón Cruz, Executive Director, Hospital Buen Samaritano “As a primary physician and internist, electronic health records have been very useful tools for better organizing medical problems, drugs and clinical encounters with my patients. They allow me to efficiently maintain a list of medications each day, which in turn shortens the time it takes me to put together a prescription. Electronic health records also give me e-Prescribing capabilities, which were not possible with paper-based records. Another of the many benefits they provide is the ability to perform self-assessments of care offered to patients, since you can create metrics by specialty and measure them at any given time to improve the quality of clinical service. For primary physicians, electronic health records also help by providing alerts on which prevention studies are pending for our patients, and we can continue to monitor specific laboratories through graphs. The combination of these benefits makes visits more comprehensive and efficient.” Dra. María López Quintero Medical Director of the Medical Sciences Campus Clinic “Since we began using Clinical Vault, we get referrals from other healthcare providers in real time. When I’m abroad, I can connect with the office and make medical decisions about patients under my care. I highly recommend this tool.” Dra. Loviera Acevedo “Our office works with high-end technology, where we use over 10 stations and remote connections by VPN [virtual private networks] to securely access information in the production server, including NeoMed, ASSERTUS and TEC2SCAN images from remote locations and our office in Arecibo. Everything in this office is the latest top-of-the-line technology with a great backup structure and multilevel business continuity redundancy, and TEC2FLY INC. made all this happen and more.” Dr. Jaime Fumero and Karina Pérez JFK Ortho LLC
