Meramec Valley OB/Gyn Selects Benchmark for EHR and Practice Management Solutions

Jan. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Benchmark Systems, a leading Internet based provider of fully integrated medical practice solutions, announced today that Meramec Valley OB/ will implement Benchmark’s enterprise solution to automate the clinical and business functions of their practice. The practice will implement a billing module and a clinical database with templates designed specifically for OB/Gyn practices and built in workflow tools to increase efficiency, reduce errors and accelerate payments.

Dr. Ricketts and staff will now electronically document patient health and development details at the point of care via securely encrypted technology. From the EHR, automated coding recommendations will be sent to the billing module. Electronic claims submission, real-time unpaid claims follow-up, and electronic payment posting from insurance carriers will shorten A/R cycles. Mail merge and reporting features will enhance billing and collection processes and improve overall patient communication.

The physician and staff of Meramec Valley OB/Gyn will experience unsurpassed flexibility with managing chronic conditions, refilling prescriptions and posting clinical summary details via the Patient Portal. Patients will have 24/7 access to this data via a waiting room kiosk or from the comfort of home.

“It is a pleasure to work with a forward-thinking organization that has researched the major vendors before making a decision that affects their healthcare providers and, more importantly, their patients,” said Richard Pedersen, Vice President of Business Development at Benchmark. “Benchmark Systems will support this practice at the highest level, and we look forward to automating additional healthcare providers in Missouri,” said Pedersen.
