Summit County Medical Firm Taps Noteworthy Medical Systems to Create Shared Data Health Community
CLEVELAND, OH (Oct. 15, 2008)—Noteworthy Medical Systems, originator of the market's only three-screen ambulatory electronic health record (EHR), announced today that Premiere Medical Resources (PMR), a physician owned management services organization (MSO) in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, has selected NetPracticePM™ and NetPracticeEHR™ for their practice management and electronic health records solutions.
"Noteworthy's products far surpass the other major products in the market, which is why we decided not only to implement NetPracticeEHR, but also to change from our current practice management software to NetPracticePM," said Tawnya Bosko, PMR's COO. NetPracticePM and NetPracticeEHR are flagship Noteworthy products that consistently enable physicians to improve patient care, maintain financial independence and enjoy more quality time outside the office—despite changes in the industry that continue to make achievement of such goals a challenge. "PMR's providers, like most healthcare providers, are working harder for less money. That's why our practice management and electronic health records systems are so crucial for them," said Paul Ruflin, Noteworthy's president and COO.
The integrated products are part of Premiere's overall strategy to improve communication and share essential patient data between and among their multi-specialty practices, which include 92 providers and more than 20 locations throughout Summit and Portage counties in Northeast Ohio. "In order to provide our patients with the best possible care, we sought a system that allowed us not only to acquire and document detailed data, but to share that data and communicate effectively and easily with one another, throughout our practices," said Robert Kent, D.O., president of PMR.
NetPracticePM and NetPracticeEHR are a part of Noteworthy's Connected Care solution, which allows healthcare providers to securely exchange clinical data, refer patients, provide consults and access the entirety of a patient's community medical history (labs, radiology, prescriptions and more) within the normal workflow of seeing patients. Eighteen Connected Care communities are at various stages of development, serving more than 1.2 million patients.
"Theirs is by far the best system I've ever seen, and we've been researching solutions for our practice for several years," said Kevin Mineo, M.D., a primary care physician and shareholder of PMR. "Our goal is to bring the highest quality care to our patients and the community while ensuring the viability and autonomy of our practices. We feel that Noteworthy has the best solutions to help us accomplish our goals; the fact that they are a local company is an added bonus," added Mineo.
