Technology -- Connectivity

The physician's office can no longer be an island -- Practice Partner helps provide a bridge.

The days of the truly solo practice are gone. Today's physicians are woven into a complex fabric of institutional interrelationships that demand and require open and active communication. No matter where you are in the new health care system, Practice Partner offers an open link to the world—inside and outside of your office—that can connect you in the ways that you want to be connected.

Connection with your own in-house systems

Patient Records can be fully integrated with your in-house practice management system. Practice Partner also offers a fully integrated solution, linking Patient Records with Medical Billing and Appointment Scheduler.

Home

With a modem and a PC, Practice Partner is available wherever you are, at home or away, giving you full access to any chart on any patient.

Laboratory or other ancillary clinical data sources

Patient Records allows direct interfaces with critical information that you use every day, such as lab results or radiology reports. The system is smart enough to flag abnormal results and update all the appropriate health maintenance items.

The large office

Practice Partner is a proven performer in handling the complex daily requirements of the large single or multi-specialty practice, with current sites having more than 900,000 charts on line and actively seeing up to 3,000 people per day.

Integrated healthcare delivery networks and clinical data repositories

As healthcare systems pursue the goal of integrated patient information from all points of clinical contact, Practice Partner provides a natural link tying together the network and interfacing to clinical data repositories.

The networked practice

Standardization using across geographically separated practices establishes a foundation for linking physicians and patients to a common chart. Only Practice Partner has a proven track record in handling large transaction volumes to support ambitious standardization plans.

Scanning and faxing

Because most outside information comes in the form of paper, Practice Partner allows for easy insertion of scanned materials. And with Practice Partner's unique dot codes, scanned documents can be automatically inserted into the correct patient chart, updating all the necessary chart sections. Additionally, Practice Partner can also be used in conjunction with a fax server, allowing prescriptions or other materials to be faxed straight from the Practice Partner applications.
