7 Benefits to Instant Medical History Webinar

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Today’s physicians are looking to creative ways in order to save time and increase revenue for their practices. Instant Medical History is a patient interview software application created by Primetime Medical Software, Inc. to gather complete present illness, review of system and medical history information before the doctor meets with the patient.

Practice Partner has partnered with Primetime to integrate the ASP (web-based) version of Instant Medical History with McKesson’s Practice Partner Patient Records EHR system.

The patient uses Instant Medical History software to respond to multiple choice questions that branch based on his or her answers. In the background, the software translates the interview summary into clinical terminology and organizes the responses according to the pertinent organ system. Instant Medical History summarizes this information, which Practice Partner users can then import into Patient Records to begin a progress note for the patient visit.

Professional Data Services (PDS), McKesson’s Clinical Value-Added-Reseller of the Year for the 5th straight year, is sponsoring an Instant Medical History webinar. PDS is a leader in implementing Practice Partner EHR.

This webinar will cover 7 benefits of IMH.

‒ Reduces clinician data entry
‒ Provides more accurate and complete information
‒ Makes the time spent in the encounter more efficient
‒ Focuses the patient and the physician on the health concerns presented at the start of the encounter
‒ Improves documentation for coding and audits
‒ Produces additional revenue from treating more patients
‒ Improves patient retention and satisfaction

Matthew Ferrante, President of Primetime Medical Software, will present Instant Medical History via an online webinar on March 9, 2011. To register and attend the webinar, log into GotoMeeting dot com, select Join Meeting and enter the Id: 470540542.
