e-MDs Solution Series™ 6.3.0 Released

AUSTIN, TX – Today, e-MDs, an industry leader in the development and implementation of electronic health record (EHR) and practice management (PM) solutions, announced the release of the latest version of the e-MDs Solution Series^TM suite of software applications.  With this new edition, e-MDs continues an award-winning tradition of robust and intuitive EHR/PM products that keep pace with emerging requirements, specialty specific needs, and e-MDs’ commitment to developing software that is affordable and easy to use at the point of care.  Solution Series 6.3.0 is a CCHIT 2008 Certified® Ambulatory EHR, and is one of few EHRs with additional certification for both Child Health and Cardiovascular Medicine.  The release boasts a host of upgrades and additions in preparation for “meaningful use,” and to improve workflow efficiency, enhance patient quality measures and further streamline PM and EHR functions.  The 6.3.0 enhancements include:

·         FDB Drug Database – The incorporation of First DataBank’s Drug Database solution will enhance prescription and drug information, offer formulary prompts and provide context-relevant drug information at the point of care. FBD is the leading provider of integrated drug data and drug reference solutions.

·         Surescripts e-Prescribing Enhancements –This additional integration provides the ability to download a comprehensive list of all of a patient’s past and present prescriptions, as well as the ability to electronically prescribe mail order prescriptions.

·         Surescripts Formularies – The system immediately reports drug formulary information such as costs, coverage, and alternative therapies for patients based upon formulary benefits eligibility checking. Formulary functionality also provides co-pay amounts, prior authorization status, quantity limits and gender restrictions.

·         CCD – 6.3.0 supports Continuity of Care Documents (CCD), in addition to Continuity of Care Records (CCR).  This enhances the ability to transfer and share relevant and reportable clinical information between providers, regardless of the care setting with any  CCD-compliant health information system.

·         Dose Calculator – This upgrade automatically suggests drug sigs by calculating minimum and maximum doses based on a patient’s weight and diagnosis.

·         Drug Duplicates & Interactions – This ePrescribing feature seamlessly eliminates duplicate refill requests to pharmacies, and offers helpful pop-up alerts when a prescription conflicts with a patient’s current problem list.

·         Improvements, based on customer feedback, to last year’s upgrades including the OB Module®, Practice management reporting, billing, posting, and many additional enhancements to e-MDs Solution Series suite.

With this latest version, e-MDs continues to shape the advancement of electronic health records and practice management by providing efficient, user-friendly technology attuned to the evolving needs of healthcare enterprises.
