So, you won't have to explain HL7 or HIPAA. Saving your time and reducing your costs.
Medical software is a very complex area with its own set of terminology, laws, and data integration standards. By focusing on medical software development, we can provide more effective solutions to our clients in less time than would otherwise be possible.
We develop custom medical software solutions, but there are some common themes within these projects.
- Clinical decision support
- Clinical decision support helps medical professionals avoid errors by providing them with safeguards such as checking a new prescription for drug to drug interactions and patient allergies.
- Disease management
- Disease management software provides tools for patients and/or clinicians to help monitor chronic diseases such as diabetes, congestive heart failure (CHF), hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Electronic medical records (EMR)
- An electronic medical record (EMR) system manages data about the patient, their visit, and treatments performed. It is typically used as a replacement for a paper patient chart, but often provides much more functionality such as e-prescribing and clinical decision support.
- E-prescribing
- E-prescribing software allows clinicians to send prescriptions electronically to pharmacies. It eliminates the task of trying to decipher handwritten prescriptions and typically forces the user to specify enough information so that the drug can be dispensed without a call back from the pharamacy.
- Integration & Standards
- Integration between medical software is typically done with HL7 messaging, CCD, or CDA documents. Standards such as HL7, ICD-9-CM, and SNOMED make it possible for medical software to catalog and share complex data.
- Medical billing software
- Medical billing software provides the mechanism for the clinicians to get paid for providing treatment. Often it can be built into other pieces of software such as an electronic medical record or a practice management system.
- Medical coding software
- Medical coding software provides the tools necessary to write standardized information about a patient's condition(s) and the treatment that was provided. Medical codes are often used for medical billing software to calculate the payment due by the insurer or government agency.
- Medical device software
- Software for medical devices can either reside on the medical device itself or an external device which it connects to. Often, medical device data is sent to a computer to have it rendered and interpreted to help treat the patient.
- Medical scheduling software
- Medical scheduling software makes it easy to schedule patients, clinicians, resources, and locations so that procedures or exams can be performed.
- Medication Management
- Medication management software focuses on how to deliver the appropriate medication(s) to patients based on their medical history, current best practices, medication list, and insurance provider.
- Telemedicine / Connected Health
- Telemedicine allows doctors to treat patients remotely (not just over the telephone). Connected health helps remotely monitor and treat patients while they go about their daily routine. Remote monitoring can be used for early intervention for problems that may not have otherwise been seen until they cause a hospitalization.
