Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., June 1, 2009 – In order to reduce excess paperwork and provide better services for dermatologists and their patients, Aurora Diagnostics, a specialized laboratory company, has launched a new, easy-to-use electronic medical record (EMR) software called doc2MD.
The doc2MD software helps dermatologists be more efficient, allowing them to spend more time with patients, and less time documenting charts through dictation or paperwork. The software also helps optimize a practice by increasing productivity, and addressing specific dermatology-practice challenges that generic EMR systems are unable to provide.
Dermatologists have shared patient concerns that administrative tasks detract from time spent with their doctor during an appointment. Furthermore, medical staff is overwhelmed by processes that can keep patients waiting and bog down the flow of appointments. Additional issues such as Medicare and insurance audits further affect the time devoted to practicing medicine. This led Aurora to develop the new doc2MD software to help improve practice efficiency, which ultimately can help dermatologists control costs, while improving the patient experience and care.
doc2MD helps to prepare and manage various tasks – from detailing a patient encounter to managing pathology and cosmetic procedures. doc2MD translates shorthand commands into comprehensive, detailed text that is automatically added to a patient’s record. This allows for the quick and accurate documentation of patient encounters that will pass Medicare and/or insurance audits.
In addition to its ease of deployment and use, doc2MD is designed to operate without the burden of expensive servers, software, or proprietary hardware. It meets all standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) by incorporating sophisticated security and encryption for data traveling via the Internet to doc2MD servers.
Dermatologists visiting www.doc2MD.com will find various resources to learn more about how doc2MD can improve the efficiency of their practice. Competitively priced, doc2MD starts at $49.95 per month for a practice with 1-3 physicians. Physicians can also receive a 10-percent discount when they commit to an entire year in advance. A 30-day trial is available by visiting www.doc2MD.com. For more information, please visit www.doc2MD.com, call 877-770-3111, or email support@doc2md.com.
