ClearDATA EMR Cloud Hosting Service Saves Advanced Arthritis Care Practice Over $30k in Server & Support Costs

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) May 09, 2012

ClearDATA Networks, Inc., the leading healthcare cloud computing platform and service provider, today announced that Advanced Arthritis Care and Research (AACR), a Medical Group Practice located in Scottsdale, AZ is hosting its EMR software on the ClearDATA Private Cloud at the companys datacenter. AACR needed to upgrade its EMR software to be compatible with a new billing system, but the upgrade would have taken 2.5 months and required a new server for more than $ 30,000, plus monthly support and maintenance fees. After researching its options, AACR decided to have both its EMR and billing software hosted at the ClearDATA data center, which took less than one week for the entire implementation to be up and running efficiently.

Private cloud hosting of EMR software is one of the fastest growing trends in healthcare due to the significant costs associated with increased server and storage requirements, along with monthly maintenance and support fees. ClearDATA is targeting its secure, HIPAAcompliant EMR Cloud Hosting Service to small-to-large healthcare practices across the country and has performed successful implementations with software from most of the major EMR vendors.

EMR Cloud Hosting is an area of tremendous growth for ClearDATA, said David Bean, executive vice president of sales and marketing, ClearDATA Networks, Inc. Healthcare providers are increasingly moving their EMR and EHR software to the cloud because of the significant savings in hardware expenses and support, eliminating the need for multiple servers and substantial storage. And due to increased market demand, EMR software companies are partnering with us to cloud enable their software as well as hosting their EMR solutions on our ClearDATA Cloud Computing Platform.

After multiple phone calls with ClearDATA over the course of several days and even visiting their data center, I felt very confident in going with a cloud hosted solution, said Liza Altman, administrator and office manager for Advanced Arthritis Care and Research. I actually feel more secure with their hosted solution than having the data in our office. Also, we were pleasantly surprised that our performance running GE Centricity is much faster now through the cloud than it was on our local server, and the system has never been down.

In response to growing market demand, ClearDATA has developed a secure, HIPAA-compliant, and cost effective solution for EMR software delivery that features a pre-configured combination of ClearDATAs private Cloud services, HPs state-of-the art server and storage solutions, and EMR/PM software images to form a single solution delivered as a service.

RISARC CEO Richard Stephenson Personalized Digital Records will set off a Consumer Health Care Revolution

Burbank, California (PRWEB) October 10, 2012

Richard Stephenson, CEO and founder of RISARC, a leading national provider of high-technology and revenue recovery solutions to the U.S. health care industry, today predicted that patient engagement and information exchanges with health care providers will soon match and exceed what consumers have come to expect from banks and retailers.

Said Stephenson: Recent stories in the Los Angeles Times and elsewhere have noted growing and broad consumer acceptance of electronic health care records. Widespread use of networked automated teller machines, providing direct access to a customers bank account, dates back at least to the 1970s and most major retailers have provided consumers secure on-line digital access to products and account records for a decade or more. As a consequence, the ways in which consumers manage their money and purchase goods has changed profoundly. The changes to the healthcare industry that will now come from consumer access to these new, powerful digital health records will be every bit as impactful and long-lasting.

According to top insurance industry lobbyist Karen Ignagni, in testimony before the powerful House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee on September 24, the first major shift of information access will be to empower the patient to more effectively take better care of themselves and that will save the industry billions.

Said Stephenson: The digital healthcare record will go beyond giving you constant and secure access to what the doctor and the lab have discovered and recommended it will also give health plans continuous access back to their members, engaging them in self-care and health maintenance, reminding them of medication and exercise regimens that they have committed to.

Robin Gelburd, a New York based health care cost expert, told the L.A. Times that on-line cost calculators provided by most large healthcare insurers is just the start of new services, tools and communication strategies that banks and retailers have used for years to attract and retain consumers.

This is a true revolution in healthcare consumerism, according to Stephenson, transforming electronic health care records into a shared and secure communications commons that enable prescription apps from your smart phone, on-line health coaching, remote monitoring of health conditions and disease, and real-time diet information and interactions.

The most profound and welcome revolution for consumers, says Stephenson, will be a substantial reduction in the cost of too-late care and emergency room visits that too often characterize our current engagement with health care providers. It will save us money and may very well one day save our lives.

Adult Primary Care Associates Transition EHR and Practice Management Systems Backed by ProviDyns Private Cloud

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 22, 2012

Adult Primary Care Associates, a physician practice specializing in internal medicine and preventive healthcare, has selected ProviDyn for private cloud services. Earlier this year, the practice enlisted ProviDyn to determine if its existing technology infrastructure could support a move of Allscripts electronic health records (EHR) and practice management systems to cloud services.

Today, with financial incentives and stimulus stemming from the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) and Meaningful Use, an increasing number of healthcare providers are moving to electronic records to capture patient information, track and report clinical conditions and improve performance. However, many dont realize that a solid and reliable infrastructure is critical for a successful transition to electronic records.

Adult Primary Care Associates wanted to take advantage of the benefits of upgrading their Allscripts technology but had an aging infrastructure that could potentially cause problems in its efforts to migrate to the latest platform. ProviDyn conducted a thorough evaluation and recommended that the practice consider migrating to a private cloud versus the more expensive option of purchasing all new equipment. With cloud services, the practice can move forward knowing that its infrastructure is able support growth to the EHR and practice management systems.

With the private cloud, Adult Primary Care Associates is able to upgrade its practice management processes and also take its infrastructure to a new level, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. Taking the added step of ensuring that the infrastructure and existing equipment can handle going electronic is often a key element of a successful implementation.

We had reached a point with our existing infrastructure, that we were faced with major hardware improvements in order to be able to keep up with continuous upgrades to our software, said Julie Clemons, Practice Manager of Adult Primary Care Associates. ProviDyn came in and conducted a thorough evaluation. Their recommendations for upgrading our infrastructure were strategic and cost effective.
