iMedica and Blue Cliff Partner to Accelerate Electronic Medical Record Adoption Among Hawaii Physicians

Blue Cliff to boost physician adoption of EMRs among Hawaii physicians

DALLAS, Texas–(EMWNews)–iMedica Corporation, a leading developer of healthcare software

solutions for physician practices, today announced a sales and marketing

partnership with Blue Cliff, Inc., a Hawaii-based software development

and training company. As a value added reseller of the iMedica Patient

Relationship Manager™ (PRM), a

single-application electronic medical record (EMR) and practice

management (PM) solution that utilizes Microsoft’s

latest .NET technology, Blue Cliff aims to boost EMR and PM adoption

among physician practices in Hawaii.

Blue Cliff has extensive experience in healthcare, with services ranging

from installation and configuration of software to development of

interfaces and training of staff.

“The partnership with iMedica helps us address

the low adoption rates for EMRs in Hawaii,”

says Arthur Koga, president of Blue Cliff. “Only

13 percent of physicians here have adopted EMRs as compared to the

national average of 17 percent. Our partnership with iMedica enables us

to fill the adoption gap by providing the most effective technology

solution for their needs.”

iMedica’s EMR is certified by the

Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT).

A unique feature replicates data onto a tablet PC or laptop, enabling

clinicians to access or update patient charts from anywhere and at

anytime without being connected to the Internet, LAN or WAN. The iMedica

PRM also offers total security by repopulating data lost in a power

outage or disaster within 30 to 40 minutes. PRM 2008 enhancements

include fully integrated PQRI reporting, robust medication and vaccine

management functions, reimbursement maximization tools and an advanced

collections module.

“Physician practices in Hawaii will be

especially gratified to know that they can enhance reimbursement through

features such as iMedica’s PQRI (Patient

Quality Reporting Initiative),” says Michael

Nissenbaum, iMedica’s CEO. “Once

physicians realize that tools such as the iMedica PRM can actually

improve reimbursement and strengthen practice profitability, they’ll

feel more confident about coping with other implementation barriers such

as practice downtime, staff training and the transition from paper to

paperless.”

Providers are looking for an integrated solution and local support and

training. The iMedica PRM provides the solution and Blue Cliff fulfills

the physician’s demand for in-state support. “Blue

Cliff is a locally born and bred company staffed by local people. We

understand this market and the needs of the providers,”

says Koga.
