(NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 27, 2010) Clinix Medical Information Services, LLC, a Nashville-based healthcare software developer, in association with dermatology expert Inga Ellzey Practice Group (IEPG), announced today that its ground-breaking EMR software for Dermatologists is in the final stages of development.
Clinix and IEPG have worked together in the dermatology arena since 2007 where IEPG is recognized as a leading authority on billing and coding for dermatology medical practices. The Clinix/ IEPG effort has led to the development of an EMR product that promises to be superior to any EMR software in the dermatology market. The new software, Clinix MD Dermatology, is specifically designed for dermatologists with the goal of streamlining workflows, clinical experiences and coding.
IEPG founder Inga Ellzey explains, “Dermatologists have demanding jobs with complex processes of documentation. Five EMR screen changes per encounter translate to $60,000 in lost revenue per provider per year. A dermatology specific EMR system, rather than a system that is merely a derivative of a Family Practice system, is essential for dermatologists. We have partnered with Clinix in the development of its new system because of their excellent reputation and experience as sophisticated medical practice software developers, their state of the art technology, and their excellent customer support.”
Jerry Killough, CEO of Clinix, describes the background of the new system’s development. “Having worked with IEPG for several years, we already had a good understanding of the dermatologist’s unique practice situation. At the outset of the Clinix MD Dermatology EMR development process, we studied and then designed a system to naturally mimic dermatologists’ workflow and their process of documentation. This system was structured to ensure a simpler learning curve and smooth integration of the EMR into their practice. This EMR software is dermatology friendly in every way. It’s in their language and their format. The clinical content is 95% pre-built. A dermatologist incorporating our EMR will regain his patient volume quickly. It’s highly intuitive software.”
Product features include one-page charting, pathology and treatment tracking, PQRI documentation, real-time wireless image capture of skin condition, E & M code advisor, ePrescribing and refills. Procedure forms contain billing and coding knowledge. The system has the capability to easily generate and transmit referral letters.
Jerry Killough explains the Clinix corporate culture. “Our business model reflects our corporate culture, which is built on a foundation of service excellence. If you ask our clients what’s the best thing about Clinix, they will tell you it’s our people and our customer support. We provide an on-site presence during training and the “go-live” phase. Implementation managers can tweak the system based on individual needs. We are a hands-on partner with our software users and we understand the challenges they face. It is our number one priority to assist them whenever they need it.”
