Our federal government wants all medical offices to move
to an Electronic Medical Records package as soon as possible. The stated intention
is to ensure patient safety and provide better medical care while lowering medical
expenses by reducing the need to repeat expensive medical tests.
The government stimulus plan has sliding
incentives. Physicians can earn between $44,000.00 and $64,000.00 from
Medicare/Medicaid over a five year period if they can demonstrate utilization of EHR by
2011.
We at
Texas Medical Systems know that our clients expect us to provide outstanding support for
any product that we sell. CMEDS, our wonderful old practice management software has
stood the test of time, but cannot be integrated with an EMR package because we have no
way of importing data into CMEDS. This does NOT mean that we will not continue to
offer the same software support as always to our CMEDS customers. We have no
plans for the foreseeable future to discontinue support of CMEDS.
We know
that we must also sell an EMR/PM package in order to meet the needs of many of our
existing CMEDS clients who do wish to move on to an EMR system. With that in mind,
Texas Medical Systems is proud and pleased to announce that we have joined with Allscripts to sell their exciting new MyWay
EMR/PM product. MyWay is ideal for small to mid-size
medical practices.
