supertaz93:
I'm curious as to what you guys are seeing that I am not seeing when you map the address.  I see a UPS store.  The street view in google is several years old and businesses come and go.  I know the view of my street is from 2008 because my house still has the old siding.  I'm also curious as to what you would expect a person to do if this is their address and the street view is their building. 

Michele:
You must have typed it in wrong.  I cut and pasted (after adding the www.) and it came right up.

tallmanusa:
Some very helpful comments. Thank you.
I agree I will be posting a new address. Frankly I did not think about the Google maps.

I am also revising the contact form, the doctor can leave as much or as little information as he wants, some doctors may be reluctant to give out their phone numbers.

About the site being very extensive, I took the cue from other major companies, all of whom have extensive sites. Though through our navigation system the visitor can peruse through the desired sections only.

To me, this is a lot of un-necessary work. I have actually gained clients with the contractual agreement of utilizing their PM system via remote access (I use various means of remote access) This lets my potential clients know I'm diversified, flexible and they can maintain as much control as they want. I do have a list of 3 software's I refuse to work on (no, I'm not disclosing them here, lol)  My clients love this because many of them have already spent a lot of money on their PM systems.


--- Quote --- They could look at their data in our system if they wanted to, but they don't want to.  We give them the financial reports they want, and that is all they want - because they have the demographics and insurance and codes in their own system (as well as in our system because we reach into their system and pull it out).  The clients keep control over their systems (because we put nothing into them) and we keep control over our systems (because we pull data from their systems into ours, they put nothing into ours).

How are you pulling the information and entering it into yours? Do you have a data export? Or do you mean someone is inputting data from their system to yours, in which case, what are you using for your "source documents"? Are you doing double entry?

But what tallmanusa is discussing is being pushed by the current administration and CMS.

I don't want to hijack tallmanusa's thread and turn it into a technical discussion of what I do with my clients.  If tallmanusa knows what it means for the client to send his information to tallmanusa's system, I'm sure he knows what it means for his people to reach into the client's system and pull data out and import it into tallmanusa's system.

You may know that there is a push into healthcare interoperability going on now.  From here:

http://www.himss.org/ASP/topics_FocusDynamic.asp?faid=665

[Healthcare] Interoperability describes the extent to which systems and devices can exchange data, and interpret that shared data. For two systems to be interoperable, they must be able to exchange data and subsequently present that data such that it can be understood by a user.  In healthcare, interoperability is the ability of different information technology systems and software applications to communicate, exchange data accurately, effectively and consistently, and use the data that has been exchanged.

Any recent EMR is supposed to be able to exchange specific patient and billing data with any recent PM system, through the HL7 interface.  The intent is to be able to mix and match the components of any system - instead of having to buy/lease all of them from the same vendor.  For me anyway, this has resulted in clients purchasing a recent EMR system without purchasing the PM part of it.  Their EMR system can share / exchange data with any recent PM system.

http://www.hl7standards.com/blog/2010/03/04/hl7-interface-an-overview/

If two systems have a proper HL7 interface, client should be able to push data to tallmanusa's system, or tallmanusa should be able to reach into clients system and pull out the data he needs and import it into his sytem.

My clients I referred to above have HL7 interfaces, but I don't.  I get the data through a combination of export from theirs and import into mine through a secure connection.  We don't re-type the date.

Healthcare interoperability, exchanging data through the HL7 standard (among others), is an animal totally different from dialing into someone else's system through GoToMyPC or other similar programs.
