Report: Electronic Health Records Improve Efficiency
In an effort to support the national transition to an electronic health records system, the Government Accountability Office investigated the effects of EHRs on medical institutions and released a report that said the technology is improving patient care.
According to the report, integrated information delivery systems facilitate communication between medical professionals, subsequently improving the services of healthcare facilities. EHRs were found to support the patient care strategies of most medical institutions by improving the availability of data on individual patients and the overall patient population, the report said.
In compiling the report, the GAO evaluated a number of medical offices running a variety of EHR platforms for integrated information and management deployments. The facilities were from a diverse range of practices and served a wide variety of patient types, displaying the utility of EHR and other remote office systems in a variety of settings, such as dental offices, intensive care units and family physicians.
A recent report from CIO.com said EHR systems are being adopted slowly in the medical industry as facilities are still learning how to maximize the technology. However, there is a consensus that EHR systems can benefit an office by providing paperless record systems, enhancing communication and integrating remotely delivered software, the report said.

SaaS Software Enhancing a Medical Facility's Efficiency
A SaaS software development company recently released a new application for mobile devices that allows medical professionals to access programs, patient information and other work-related content remotely.
According to the developer, the application allows healthcare facilities to improve their overall efficiency by putting information directly into the hands of medical personnel, limiting their dependence on paper charts and desktop workstations.
The application is also able to synchronize with unified communications end-points, allowing users to communicate within the network while simultaneously accessing important data. This facilitates collaboration between medical personnel, allowing doctors and nurses to optimize patient care while improving efficiency.
The system is currently in trial at Stanford University Hospital, where Bill Collins, project manager of patient care systems planning, said "our progressive-thinking leadership is focused on continuous improvement in patient care." By deploying the SaaS-based solution, the hospital hopes to enhance workflows by fostering collaboration, Collins said.
According to a recent report by the Government Accountability Office, electronic medical systems and other SaaS and mobile-based healthcare management systems show a marked improvement over traditional models. Medical facilities, such as dental offices, can expect to see upgrades in patient care upon using electronic medical systems, the report said.

Expert: Advanced Technologies Removing the Need for On-Premise Call Centers
Nicola Millard, a customer experience futurologist, recently told Call Center Helper that advanced technologies, such as virtualization and cloud computing, could remove the need for on-premise call centers and other customer management solutions.
According to Millard, the ability to use SaaS and virtualization to deliver applications and desktops to homes and remote offices can allow businesses to forgo the often expensive process of developing their own internal call center and customer service operations.
"The experts could be anywhere - the true ‘Martini’ vision of the contact center - any time, any place, anywhere, through any channel and any device," Millard told the news source.
Millard added the use of remote call center services could be somewhat dependent on the deployment of CRM software. Managing employees in a diverse range of locations can be a challenge for businesses, Millard said, but remote office software and other management tools can ease any difficulties in the process.
A recent report from TMCnet indicates virtual call centers have the potential to offer comparable services to on-premise customer service facilities without requiring the same level of commitment to technology or building management.

Paperless Offices Can Save Money
After hosting a young, ambitious college student for a work-study program, Jones Harris, a Fleetwood accounting firm, was convinced to transfer its office to a paperless system, The Blackpool Gazette reports. In the last six years, the company has come full circle from a paper-based system and now uses a number of electronic tools to manage its data and storage. The intern has also come a long way, as he now runs the office's IT department.
The shift to paperless created monetary savings on many levels. One of the areas for cost reduction simply came in employee time. According to the news source, an employee that spends approximately 50 minutes a day managing paper supplies for printers, fax machines and other devices can cost a business upwards of $4,000 a year.
Other savings often come in paper reduction and postage. The Gazette reports companies can cut costs by one-fifth by printing double-sided documents and storing emails electronically. The news source also said postal reduction for a small business can add up to more than $5,000 annually.
According to the Star-Tribune, an auto body shop in St. Paul, Minnesota, has been able to significantly reduce costs and improve its environmental efficiency by going to a paperless office. The body shop uses electronic estimates and online repair status updates to manage their records, billing and customer service.

Cloud Computing Enabling Remote Office Services
A recent report on TMCNet indicates cloud computing is empowering hosted call centers to change the way offices run their customer service and management solutions. The cloud is allowing hosted call centers to remotely provide customer management and other services to businesses with efficiency and relatively low-costs.
TMCNet reports cost as the primary benefit of a remote, hosted call center solution. To establish an on-premise call center, businesses need to develop software, hardware, customer service staff and an IT department that can plan the process, install devices and maintain the service. Furthermore, the system must be built to handle peak hour traffic, leaving system resources unused during the rest of the day.
With a remote office call center solution, businesses can remove the on-premise staff, software and hardware, while also using a pay-per-use model, providing flexibility and scalability. This is especially essential, according to TMCNet's report, in office environments that depend on flexible, state-of-the-art customer management solutions, but cannot devote the time, energy and resources toward an on-premise solution.
Another recent TMCnet report indicates security concerns with hosted call centers should not prevent companies from using the service. When the organization works to communicate compliance standards and security needs with the hosting provider, cloud-based call centers can be secure enough to use for medical practices, such as dental offices.

Electronic Health Records Expanding in the South
The BayCare Healthcare system recently adopted electronic health records technology, allowing the company to improve patient care and install cost-efficient data storage to its network of hospitals and other medical centers in the Tampa Bay region.
According to Tampa Bay Online, the paperless office system is turning to remote software solutions for medical office functions, such as billing, charts, digital X-rays and blood test result management. By deploying various forms of electronic health records and paperless office systems, BayCare facilities are able to maximize efficiency by treating patients with state-of-the-art technological solutions.
Pat Donnelly, BayCare's vice president of patient care services for St. Joseph's Hospitals and South Florida Hospital in Plant City, told the news source "everything that you could possibly want to know about your patients is available in a click. More than implanting software, it changes the way we're providing care"
Dental offices can see similar benefits for patient care and efficient data management. Earlier this month, a New Jersey-based pediatric practice deployed a dental software solution to save money on paper and optimize patient care. By deploying dental software, such as digital X-ray and imaging, dentists can easily communicate essential information to patients, allowing them to understand the health issues they are facing and respond appropriately.

PC World: Software Licenses, Paper Among IT's Biggest Money Wasters
PC World recently revealed a compilation of items that end up costing IT departments more money than they are worth. Both outdated software licenses and paper-based office operations were included in the list.
According to an IDC study from earlier this year, companies spend anywhere from 25 percent to 75 percent of their software budgets on software licenses that end up unused. Kathryn Douglass, managing partner of an IT consultancy, told PC World companies often use less than half of their installed enterprise resource planning software.
Sys-Con Media recently reported companies can decrease software costs while fueling innovation by deploying cloud computing services. SaaS allows businesses to flexibly employ programs by avoiding licensing, and basing payments on subscription and use models.
Paper is also a source of wasted money, as a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study indicates American businesses typically consume approximately 10,000 pages of paper per year. A Xerox study said companies spend upwards of $120 billion annually on paper products. By moving record keeping to electronic systems, businesses can substantially reduce costs, according to PC World.
Recently, a New Jersey-based dental office upgraded its facilities with paperless technologies, facilitating economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. By deploying technologies such as digital X-rays, efaxing and other dental management software, the practice was able to improve customer service.

Electronic Health Records Set to Expand
The federal government is continuing to push electronic health records systems onto medical facilities in an effort to modernize healthcare and improve overall efficiency. Recently, a plan was announced to provide qualifying doctors with checks for $44,000 devoted to implementing healthcare-related technologies and EHR, Forbes reports.
The stimulus could give hospitals millions of dollars as the government makes efforts to improve the current adoption rate of EHR. According to Forbes, approximately 25 percent of doctors currently use electronic health records.
The slow adoption of EHR comes, in part, because doctors and other medical personnel are squeamish about integrating technology into their practices, Forbes reports. Adopting EHR often requires a complete overhaul of software within a system, and many healthcare facilities are ill-equipped to handle the transition.
Because of these challenges, software companies that deliver new, remote office solutions, such as SaaS dental software providers, are meeting with success as doctors in small practices and large medical centers turn to flexible software solutions to foster interoperability with EHR systems.
Recently, the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System's Department of Pathology adopted a new remote medical record system to remove paper and other clutter from the lab, improving efficiency and lowering costs. David Wilkinson, chairman of the Department of Pathology at VCU, said the facility needed a system that would allow access to records and medical software from any computer with an internet connection, and a remote office solution proved ideal.

Electronic Health Records and Other Software Innovations Hold Key to Efficient Healthcare
Healthcare reform is a contentious topic in the U.S. as politicians, the public and industry experts hold diverse opinions on what needs to be done to ensure cost-efficient and reliable healthcare throughout the nation.
According to a recent report on Politico, the federal government should look at state-level healthcare systems that are deploying tools, such as electronic health records, to maximize the effectiveness and value of patient care.
Citing the Dartmouth-Atlas Project's analysis of Wisconsin as an example, the report indicates the state has managed to successfully deliver Medicaid services at costs well under the national average. Overall, the state has focused on delivering high-quality care at low costs, rather than following the federal model of performing more tests in order to receive insurance funding.
By implementing electronic health records and other efforts to coordinate patient care, while maximizing the efficiency of resource use, hospitals in Wisconsin have been able to save significant money for each patient enrolled. Gunderson Lutheran Hospital in LaCrosse, Wisconson has integrated a program focusing on the sickest 2 percent of hospital visitors, saving approximately $15,087 per patient, Politico reports.
The Medical Group Management Association found practices, such as dental offices, using EHR save approximately $50,000 per physician when compared to paper-based facilities. Dental software and other electronic tools can help dental practices facilitate a move to electronic health records.

Private Cloud Replaces Paper in New Hospital
The Orange Regional Medical Center recently opened as the first new hospital in New York State in 20 years. In order to facilitate the movement into a state-of-the-art facility, hospital officials turned to a third-party provider to create a private cloud environment for the medical center's computing operations.
By using a private cloud environment, the hospital is able to remove most of its paper records and efficiently deploy an electronic medical records system. Electronic healthcare management systems allow doctors and other medical personnel to access important patient information through computers and mobile devices spread throughout the hospital. The easy accessibility to data helps maximize productivity, while saving the facility money on storing and managing its base of paper goods.
"As technology advancements enable us to move toward the private cloud, I and my CIO peers are ready to trade in our struggles for integration, simplicity, efficiency and seamless operations," said Shafiq Rab, vice president of information technology and CIO at the hospital.
Last month, the Wealthy Dentist performed a survey to determine the percentage of practices using dental software to create an electronic medical records system. The study found 38 percent of respondents currently use EMR, while 34 percent of dental practices are working to install an EMR system. Just 29 percent of respondents were in no way involved with electronic medical records.

Dental Office Goes Digital
Recently, a dental practice in Pukaki, Australia became the first in its region to deploy a digital imaging dental software solution throughout the practice.
According to a report by the Daily Post, the Pukaki Dental Center has deployed a digital x-ray imaging system that produces panoramic images of a patient's mouth. The x-rays can be taken with minimal radiation, removing the toxins created by processing film in the process. Furthermore, the images are available for instant consultation as part of the appointment.
Through dental software programs, digital x-rays can be electronically recorded, stored and transmitted to other offices. This makes it easy for one dentist to consult with specialists by directly emailing the digital x-ray to the collaborating physician. The process saves time, money and shipping and paper resources, while also improving the service provided at the dental facility.
The U.S. Air Force recently adopted a similar digital imaging and electronic record system to manage its dental offices, Government Health IT reports. The new remote software system allows physicians to easily transmit dental information to each other, maximizing the efficiency of responding to patients with dental issues and increasing the Air Force's medical services as a whole.

Paperless Offices Becoming More Realistic
Improved methods of accessing documents, electronic medical records and other important documents are leading to an increase in the deployment of paperless office technology. As workers begin to leverage tools such as mobile devices and tablet computers to access materials through an internet connection, the idea of the paperless workplace is becoming a reality.
According to Howard Bruck, CIO of the Hudson Valley Bank, many of the traditional barriers to paperless deployment are being torn down by new technology. The primary opponent of going paperless, discomfort with technology, is quickly going by the wayside.
Professionals on all levels of employment are increasingly using smartphones and other devices to leverage complex software in their consumer lives. As comfort with these technologies grows, workers are starting to deploy them in their offices.
Bruck said the efficiency associated with paperless technology is quickly convincing office environments, such as dental practices, to turn away from paper-based communication and record keeping. The savings achieved by reducing printing, faxing and other basic paper costs create a quick return on investment, while companies also save money on the storage space that is freed by removing paper from their operation.
Computerworld reports that IT executives in a variety of industries are touting new efforts to be environmentally efficient in tangible ways that affect the every day processes in organizations. Improving sustainability by employing paperless practices was one of the major trends respondents mentioned often.

SaaS Becoming Standard for Application Deployment
A recent report by the Society of Information Management's Advanced Practices Council predicts SaaS will become the primary distribution method for applications within the next few years.
Companies such as Salesforce.com are pioneering the new SaaS movement, providing automated services that companies can use to purchase software and run programs through a cloud-based, online service.
According to Julie Smith David, one of the report's authors, SaaS is quickly becoming the normal method for application distribution. Even multi-national companies are deploying SaaS solutions, despite compliance concerns associated with moving data across national borders.
The dental industry is one of the many sectors affected by cloud computing's early success. SaaS is especially powerful for small offices, like many dental practices, as it allows companies to remove IT infrastructure and outsource hardware, software and data storage to a third-party vendor. These benefits can free staff to manage more important tasks.
Recently, one SaaS vendor announced a software plan specifically designed for dental practices. Using a SaaS provider with industry-specific services can be beneficial as the dental software programs such as digital x-ray imaging are unique to the field. These vendors can also provide a thorough understanding of compliance laws, improving the practice's security.

SaaS Changing Small Businesses
A panel gathered at the recent Fall 2010 Channel Partners Conference and Expo to discuss the role of SaaS in businesses. Over the course of the forum, one trend became clear - small businesses are benefiting from SaaS.
Because SaaS delivers applications from a remote online source, it offers companies a scalable software solution. Most SaaS vendors deliver software in a pay-per-use model, allowing companies to easily slip into and out of agreements as their application needs change.
This delivery system is especially beneficial for small businesses, as it allows them to deploy high-performance software that they would otherwise be unable to afford. Furthermore, it frees them from the need to manage internal hardware systems since the applications are powered by the devices at the SaaS vendor's data center.
Last month, the U.S. Air Force deployed a plan to use SaaS-like distribution models to employ digital imaging dental software programs throughout its units, Government Health IT reports. The new web-based dental software will allow Air Force dentists to collect and transmit digital x-rays in less than a minute, completely removing the need for film x-rays. With this system, the Air Force can enhance its dental operations and improve medical services to pilots and other servicemen and women under its command.
