Rockville, MD, February 05, 2014 - Pronoia Health and AEGIS.net(AEGIS) are proud to announce the recent launch of the Open Library of Health Information Exchange (OLHIE).

iPatientCare, Inc., a pioneer in mHealth and cloud-based ambulatory EHR and integrated Practice Management solutions, announces its readiness for the transition to ICD-10. All HIPAA-covered healthcare entities are required to switch to the new code set by October 1, 2014, meaning that their EHR software and medical billing systems must be compliant. Any claims submitted with ICD-9 codes for services provided on or after the October compliance deadline will not be paid.

Medorizon has extended to the public an offer of premium value. While they get your practice ready for the ICD9 to ICD10 conversion, they are giving away the PM (Practice Management) and EHR (Electronic Health Record) free for three months providing minimum requirements are met. It is estimated that the implementation of the new international disease code sets will cost from $15,000 to $70,000 per provider. For this reason Medorizon has offered to help absorb the burden of this mandated healthcare change.

SALT LAKE CITY--Hospital organizations and physician practices can speed ICD-10 code conversion of electronic health record (EHR) systems with the latest release of the 3M Code Translation Tool (CTT). The enhanced ICD-10 code translation technology from 3M Health Information Systems can now be used to convert ICD-9-based custom problem lists into ICD-10 coded problem lists for import back into the EHR system. The new feature transforms time-consuming, manual translation work into an efficient three-step process that reduces costs and frees IT resources for other critical projects.

EHR adoption has meant the emergence of a new kind of professional in clinics and emergency rooms: scribes.

Many feel that the EMR is central to the health of the enterprise and promises to meet many needs. However, as stakeholders drill down into individual departments, there are areas where the EMR may fail to address the specific workflow of the caregivers in those specialties.
