OZARK, Missouri, June 11, 2010 – HealthMEDX announced today the upcoming general availability of the latest version of HealthMEDX Vision. Version 6.0 is designed to address expected certification standards from CCHIT, the upcoming MDS 3.0 assessment, and specific needs of the home care mobile clinician.
Current industry direction and regulatory changes are planned for the fall of 2010. HealthMEDX has invested dedicated teams of product analysts and developers who have spent the last year addressing the needs of the industry in the latest release of the product. With CCHIT certification for long-term and home care EHR in the works, HealthMEDX Vision 6.0 is positioned to be one of the first solutions to sit for CCHIT certification over the summer of 2010.
“We have stayed very well informed on what our solution needs to become certified by co-chairing the CCHIT work group working on long-term and post acute care EHR certification”, stated HealthMEDX CTO, Dan Cobb. “Certification of the HealthMEDX Vision EHR means a lot to our clients. Certification is one of the key requirements necessary for organizations to qualify for any available funds from the government. With the push for EHR adoption, it is only expected that funds will continue to become available. We simply want to get ahead of the curve to ensure our clients have what they need from us to meet the qualifications.”
Outside of the standards outlined by CCHIT for EHR certification, HealthMEDX Vision 6.0 will also provide clients the ability to submit and manage the new MDS 3.0 assessment from CMS. Clients will be utilizing various tools built into HealthMEDX Vision 6.0 to ensure the transition to MDS 3.0 is smooth. The latest version of the software navigates users through the new assessment with color coding matching that of the new assessment as well as specific skip logic and question formatting to help move through the assessment quickly. MDS assessment and monitoring widgets are also available in the solution to help keep users informed of the status of all MDS 3.0 assessments.
The latest version of HealthMEDX Vision had key design elements placed around addressing the growing needs of mobile clinicians at the point of care. HealthMEDX Vision 6.0 provides a new portion of the solution called Mobile View designed specifically for these clinicians.
The solution is designed to address mobile clinicians’ needs at all points in time. Time spent on their assigned case load before, during, and after a home visit are all managed from the Mobile View solution. Clinicians can be trained on the solution within 2 hours which results in more time with patients. The solution is also positioned to be well within the reach of any organization’s budget. At just a little over one dollar per day, each mobile clinician can be provided the software and a netbook device to provide care. The Mobile View solution has also removed the need for mobile clinicians to worry about connection to the internet. When a connection is available, the solution synchronizes automatically. When disconnected, the user can still operate and provide care to their case load in the software.
HealthMEDX Vision 6.0 will be released on June 18th. The product is currently also scheduled to go through the CCHIT certification process during the later part of this summer.
