MedLink EHR Available Soon as a Software as a Service

MedLink International, Inc., a healthcare IT company that provides the medical community with products and services designed to help create, manage and share medical information, has announced that it will be providing the option of its MedLink TotalOffice EHR as a Software-as-a-Service starting next month.

 

Company officials said the new SaaS (News - Alert) model will offer providers an affordable EHR framework to meet federal and state incentives for EHR adoption by reducing upfront hardware costs.

 

The company's flagship product, MedLink TotalOffice EHR, a CCHIT Certified 08 Ambulatory EHR, provides physicians with full EHR and practice management functionality.

 

It integrates scheduling, patient registration, billing, document management, messaging, encounter notes, e-Prescribing and e-Labs into one practice management solution. It contains all patients’ demographic information, including notes, appointments, lab results, history of visits, as well as all insurance and financial information.

 

“We've seen a tremendous increase in interest in the MedLink EHR through some of the state and federal initiatives MedLink is involved in, that provide subsidies for the implementation and software costs associated with the purchase of an HER,” Ray Vuono, CEO of MedLink, said in a statement.

 

Vuono said that the SaaS model allows for practices to reduce the upfront investment in hardware and scale that investment into additional training and other services which ultimately will provide for a quicker ROI for the practice.

 

The company recently entered into an affiliation agreement with Clinical Laboratory Management, Inc., a regional ancillary provider with operations in 5 states -- New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.

 

In an effort to increase efficiencies and patient care for their referring providers, CLM will educate physicians on the benefits of the MedLink TotalOffice EHR, a CCHIT Certified 08 Ambulatory EHR.

 

MedLink International delivers enhanced medical services for healthcare professionals worldwide through a suite of network, communication, management, financial and value-added solutions utilizing MedLink Total Office and the MedLink VPN.
