Strategic partnership allows medical practices to focus more on patient care
New York, N.Y.—October 16, 2013—Phreesia, the nation’s leader in point-of-service healthcare solutions, today announced that it is partnering with e-MDs, a leading provider of electronic health records (EHRs) and practice management (PM) solutions, to provide medical practices with the highest level of integration possible to streamline the check-in process within their EHR solution.
This partnership provides an automated interface between the two systems, allowing practices to increase cash flow and save staff time, improving the economics for the practice. The bi-directional interface electronically populates demographic, financial and clinical data collected by Phreesia at check-in into e-MDs Solution Series, eliminating the need for manual data entry from practice staff.
“Medical practices are looking for integrated solutions that can help them improve operations,” says Michelle Steil, LPN/Practice Manager at VIP Pediatric Associates, a Vanderbilt Integrated Provider. “Together, Phreesia and e-MDs give us the ability to maximize our time with our patients by eliminating the manual work involved in patient intake and managing finances.”
Together with e-MDs’ industry-leading EHR solution, the two systems now offer a comprehensive solution that streamlines practice operations. Phreesia, which checks in millions of patients each year, collects and updates critical patient information, verifies insurance and collects copayments and balances during check-in.
“Our clients have been asking e-MDs for a tightly-integrated point-of-service check-in solution,” says Patrick Hall, e-MDs’ Executive Vice President of Business Development. “e-MDs already is the most user-friendly EHR solution on the market for medical practices. Our partnership with Phreesia will help practices to even more efficiently manage the check-in process, so the staff spends more quality time engaging with patients.”
“We are thrilled to welcome e-MDs to our ever growing Certified Partner Integration program,” adds Chaim Indig, CEO at Phreesia. “Together with e-MDs, we are changing the way practices manage patient flow, allowing them to realize greater revenue and provide better focus on patient care.”
