Carolina Craniospinal Neurosurgery, LLC Selects Benchmark for Electronic Medical Record Solution

July 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Benchmark Systems, the leading Internet based provider of fully integrated medical practice solutions, announced today that Carolina Craniospinal Neurosurgery, LLC will implement Benchmark’s enterprise solution to automate the clinical functions of their practice. Physicians and staff will now efficiently capture important data for PQRI, electronic prescribing and meaningful use reporting at the point of care.  E&M recommendations and automated end of day tools will improve billing accuracy and reduce under-coding.  

Patient and practice data will be stored digitally, virtually eliminating any need for paper storage. All chart information will be conveniently accessible to the physicians from remote locations via secure HIPAA encrypted technology. Patients will experience the same benefit of web-based communication through a patient portal. From there, patients can verify appointment information, complete patient intake forms and request prescription refills.

“Our comprehensive clinical database features a national drug database, a national pharmacy list, and automated ICD and CPT coding tools.  All are continually updated, giving the physicians confidence to provide the highest level of patient care and know that they are compliant with the latest government rules and regulations,” said Ernie Chastain, Vice President of Business Development at Benchmark.   “We are very pleased that Drs. Held and Dalrymple have partnered with Benchmark and we will support them at the highest level,” said Chastain.
