Healthcare Services for Tampa

EHR systems are being installed at healthcare providers at a record pace, and every vender that you talk to is great at convincing you that their solution is the best for your practice. Unfortunately this is often not the case. Some studies have shown that up to 30% of all EHR implementations are replaced, removed, or discontinued within just a couple of years. Implementing an EHR solution at your practice is difficult enough, let Summit Computing ensure you only have to do it once.

 

Federal regulations and reimbursement rules for Medicare and Medicaid make it more important than ever to implement the correct solution. Choosing the wrong EHR solution can not only be a waste of time and energy, but can exclude your practice from receiving up to $64,000.00 in incentives per provider! See Healthcare Information for more information regarding incentives.

 

Even if you are a small (1-10) provider organization there are fully certified (CCHIT Ambulatory) EHR system available. If you are looking to implement an EHR to take advantage of the incentive payments, this is the best way to ensure compliance with the meaningful use roles as they become more defined and complicated. Let Summit Computing assist in selecting the correct EHR implementation for your needs.

EHR/EMR Implementation Consulting

HIPAA Compliance / HIPAA Consulting

Complying with HIPAA requirements can take up a significant amount of your time. Let us assist in ensuring that your practice has done all it can to ensure disclosure rules compliance. We can assist in setting up email solutions that screen for HIPAA disclosures and can prevent inappropriate emails from leaving your organization. We can also assist in configuring your systems so that even if the hardware is lost or stolen no HIPAA breach has occurred.

Data often has to be shared, if you share data with non-covered entities it is more important than ever to de-identify the data prior to sending it. Recent changes in HIPAA rules mean that your old way of de-identifying data may no longer be compliant. We have years of experience in de-identifying data extracts.

EDI support ANSI x.12 837/835

If you have implemented EDI payments with your payers you know how frustrating it can be. How can a national standard be applied differently by everyone who uses it? Unfortunately this often seems to be the case. We specialize in getting your billing solution to work so that your claims are processed the first time they are submitted. We have experience working with a wide range of payers.

 

Virtually all providers will be required to use EDI when filing for reimbursement from Medicare or Medicaid by 1/1/2012. If you adopt earlier you can be eligible for incentives totaling 4% of your reimbursed services. 

 

Even if you are currently using EDI payments there is a new standard being implemented (5010). Let us help ensure your payment solution stays current as the standard changes.

Reporting/Business Intelligence

One of the great things about implementing an EHR is that all of the data about your practice is consolidated into one location. While some EHR solutions are better than others, all of them seem to be missing one or more reports that you need to run your practice efficiently. We have a Microsoft Certified Database Administrator on staff that can quickly develop any custom reporting that you need.
