ATLANTA, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NDCHealth Corporation , a leading provider of healthcare technology and information solutions, introduced today the latest release of NDCMedisoft(TM), the company’s leading physician practice management system designed for small office practices, during NDCHealth’s annual value added reseller (VAR) summit being held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
NDCMedisoft Version 10 is designed with enhanced features to provide HIPAA Security-readiness, improve staff productivity and automate revenue management and collection efforts. An integrated collections module significantly enhances collections processes by keeping practices informed of both insurance and patient past due balances, while providing a single focal point to facilitate the entire collection process. In addition, the release features security options to address HIPAA security requirements that take effect in April 2005. These options include audit logs, as well as user and database security protocols to help protect electronic health records from unauthorized access.
The new release also offers highly-desired optional features, such as patient file archiving, which enables authorized users to archive and restore patient files to the database -- a simple method for improving system performance and speed, while lessening the burden of HIPAA Compliance issues. The optional Advanced Reporting module enables users to easily customize new and many standard NDCMedisoft reports.
“As a leader in delivering healthcare technology, NDCHealth is excited to offer the enhanced quality, capability and features offered in NDCMedisoft Version 10,” said Walter Hoff, chairman and chief executive officer, NDCHealth. “This new release reflects our investment in enhanced systematic testing technology and continued focus on the trends and needs in the physician office environment. To date, we have received overwhelmingly positive response from our beta users and third-party selling partners about the systems’ effective functionality and quality. We are pleased with results to date and look forward to receiving further market validation of the system’s benefits.”
Beta user Carl D. Timpson, senior partner, T&T Consulting, said, “We have worked on the testing of NDCMedisoft Version 10 and are excited about the quality and functionality of this new release. In particular, we like the work list and patient payment plan features, which we anticipate will help us save time and energy. We also enjoyed the new patient estimated balance function. It is very helpful to be able to answer patients’ questions regarding their statements in a quick and efficient manner.”
