I enjoyed all day at the EHR Summit that’s being held by HBMA in Phoenix. It’s been a really interesting event for me. I had some sound bites from the Ron Sterling keynote queued up, but it’s not connecting to Twitter. So, I’ll see if I can post those tomorrow. Today, I thought I’d post some of my other tweets from the other session. I think you’ll find them interesting, enlightening, thought provoking or some other adjective. I really look forward to the discussion on this post.
EMR software has many versions of the same data. #interesting #EHRSummit11 Think about an HIE as well. They have a version of the data too
HIE’s aren’t good at getting the receiving doctor the second version of a clinical document. #interesting #EHRSummit11
Think about the records retention issues when you switch EHR software companies. Good thought. #EHRSummit11
If you haven’t lost a client to a hospital this year….you will next year. #EHRSummit11 #HBMA
How many EHR companies are billing companies? They have 7 listed on screen. Do you know of others? #EHRSummit11
They have MED3000, Allscripts, Greenway, NextGen, Athena, GE Centricity, Ingenix. Any other EHR companies do billing as well? #EHRSummit11
Shame on you if you hire an EHR Company and don’t check the references. Ask for a list of 10 in that specialty and size. #EHRSummit11
Pre-existing conditions, No lifetime maximum and kids on parents plan for longer are going to increase our insurance costs. #EHRSummit11
Definitely interesting to consider how the healthcare billing industry will be affected by things like ACO’s and concierge. #EHRSummit11
Super bills are going to go away once we get ICD-10. #EHRSummit11 #HBMA
The healthcare billing sales cycle is 12-18 months. #EHRSummit11
Since I’m putting some of my tweets. I also enjoyed a number of the tweets coming out of the ONC Meeting today. Here’s one that really hit me:
RT @INHSbeacon If you’ve seen one CCD, you’ve seen one CCD. Everyone interprets different, we need to find a standard to succeed #ONCMeeting
Intivia has EMR, PM, and billing……
It all depends on the HIE…there are some good ones…
