“Making Electronic Medical Records & Billing Affordable for All Healthcare Providers”
Reducing the Complexity and offering the Low Cost/No Cost
option in EMR Systems
Why Choose MedNet as your EMR System Vendor/Medical Billing Partner?
When shopping for a Billing Service or EMR/EHR solution, the decision making process can become a confusing and overwhelming process. MedNet reduces the cost and complexity of EMR/EHR solutions. At first look, many software applications seem to have the same features and functionality. However, an informed buyer looks beyond basic features and functionality and into the technology and structure of the solution, as well as the company providing the solution. There are many ways in which MedNet has differentiated itself apart from all other EMR/EHR vendors, and here are just a few.
Customization & Flexibility are Vital
We understand that each practice is unique. We also recognize that each provider practices medicine his/her own way. Therefore, MedNet’s system is developed so that the user can easily modify many aspects of the software. MedNet’s EMR/EHR system can be easily modified by staff and providers with no programming experience. This allows tailoring of our solution to accommodate personal preferences, various roles and work styles within your practice. Additionally, MedNet staff can work with you closely to tailor the software as much as possible to meet your unique requirements.
Comprehensive… Yet Easy to Learn
With MedNet, you do not have to decide between “simple, but limited” versus “difficult, but feature-rich”. No matter what functionality you are using in the MedNet system, utilizing the calendar, charting patients, ordering lab work, electronic billing, or electronic prescribing, you will notice the intuitive nature of the software as well as the customizable look & feel of the interface. Although MedNet’s system has comprehensive features and functionality, the intuitive nature and flexibility make it a very easy software application to learn and to use.
Understanding & Execution
Automating the workflow of a practice requires diligent evaluation of the existing workflow, understanding the goals of the automation, and then planning the implementation and training with practice staff. Our systems are incredibly easy to implement, so we will not be disruptive to your practice at any point. Easy implementation also allows us to focus on training and customization with our clients instead of technical issues. We understand your practice and we execute from beginning to end.
Commitment & Focus
At MedNet, we have committed ourselves to the users of our systems. We believe that focusing on the satisfaction and success of our end users will continually bring success to our clients and MedNet. Our solutions and service offerings further demonstrate our focus as a company. While offering comprehensive solutions and services, we believe in offering only products and services that demonstrate our expertise and core competencies. This ensures satisfaction and success for our clients and our company.
We do what we know, and we do it well!
History
OpenEMR software was originally developed by Synitech and version 1.0 was released in June of 2001 as MP Pro (MedicalPractice Professional). Much of the code was then reworked for HIPAA compliance and improved security, and the product was reintroduced as OpenEMR version 1.3 a year later, in June 2002. The project, now open source, evolved through version 3.2.0 and the Pennington Firm took over as its primary maintainer in January of 2004. Pennfirm did a good job of making the medical community more aware of OpenEMR, and as more developers and users became active in making improvements, the project’s code base was moved to SourceForge in March of 2005, where it remains today.
OpenEMR is an open source medical practice management, electronic medical records, prescription writing, and medical billing software application. These programs are also referred to as electronic health records. OpenEMR is licensed under the General Gnu Public License (General GPL). It is an open source replacement for medical applications such as Medical Manager, Health Pro, and Misys. It features support for EDI billing to clearing houses such as MedAvant and ZirMED using ANSI X12. Medical claim and accounts receivable are accomplished through SQLLedger, which has been customized. Calendar features include categories for appointment types, colors associated with appointment types, repeating appointments, and the ability to restrict appointments based on type. There are customizable medical encounter forms, support for voice recognition software, electronic or scanned digital document management for records, and support for HL7 messages. The community is dedicated to guarding OpenEMR’s status as an open source software solution for medical practices. Its members are comprised of software developers, as well as physicians and those with extensive medical and billing knowledge, all with the common goal of making OpenEMR a viable alternative to its proprietary counterparts.
