Phoebe Putney Health System Awards SA Ignite Meaningful Use Contract

MU Assistant to Aggregate Measures Across Multiple EHR Systems
 
CHICAGO - July 15, 2013 - PRLog -- Phoebe Putney Health System, based in Albany, Ga., has chosen the MU Assistant® cloud-based software solution from SA Ignite, Inc. to streamline and automate their “last mile” of achieving Meaningful Use (MU) and attesting for Medicare incentive payments. MU Assistant® has been dubbed the “TurboTax® for Meaningful Use reporting” for its ability to automate MU reporting and enable one-click electronic attestation to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).  

One of Georgia’s largest comprehensive regional medical centers, Phoebe Putney has tasked SA Ignite with aggregating MU functional and clinical measures across multiple Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems, including Allscripts Professional, eClinicalWorks and Greenway. Physicians who show “meaningful use” of certified EHR are eligible for up to $44,000 in extra payments from CMS. And, beginning in 2015, providers who do not attest to MU are subject to financial penalties.

“Our ability to span multiple EHRs not only gives Phoebe Putney a single, unified Meaningful Use reporting system, but also future-proofs their MU reporting infrastructure against potential future additional EHRs they may acquire through growth,” said Tom S. Lee, PhD, CEO and Founder of SA Ignite. “We are also thrilled to welcome Phoebe Putney as our first client in Georgia, now making 18 the number of States in which SA Ignite has MU Assistant license customers.”

“Phoebe Putney is nationally recognized for clinical excellence and innovation, and we are pleased to now add SA Ignite as a partner that helps us bring the finest medical technology to our physicians,” said Ryan Graham, Senior Systems Analyst, Phoebe Putney Health System.“SA Ignite offers a good solution for a medical group of our size and will help us save time for both our clinicians and our staff that support them.”

MU Assistant’s unique features allow Phoebe Putney Health System to:

·         Ensure MU reports never have to be run manually again

·         Gain insights by viewing day-by-day trends

·         Get a quick snapshot of which physicians are ready to attest

·         Communicate providers’ performance to them via the system’s Provider Scorecard

·         Complete all information required for attestation through a single, simple interface

·         File electronically, saving significant time and improving accuracy

·         Electronically capture audit-related documentation
