Acusis and MedAptus
Integrate Efforts for Comprehensive Service to the Medical
Industry in Outsourced Medical Transcription and Integrated
Point-of-Care Solutions
PITTSBURGH, PA – 25 August 2003 – Acusis®
LLC, a leading provider of outsourced medical transcription
services, based in Pittsburgh, and MedAptus, Inc., the leading
provider of point-of-care software solutions for physicians,
based in Boston, recently announced their strategic alliance
and marketplace partnership, a decision that will result in
improved service to the hospital, clinic and physician practice
markets already penetrated by both companies and to the medical
industry, in general.
With the MedAptus application, Charges
in Hand™, physicians can use a Pocket PC handheld device
to manage workflow from accessing real-time patient scheduling
information to capturing charges, dictating point-of-care
patient notes and reviewing information to include medical
reference libraries, current diagnostic and procedure coding
and coding compliance rules. By leveraging mobile computing
and wireless technology, the MedAptus software solution
is able to integrate clinical, financial and administrative
applications in order to increase physician productivity.
Under the same productivity premise,
Acusis has developed a cost-effective outsourced medical
transcription solution that integrates seamlessly with any
client’s current medical records system, a must in
the medical field where quality patient care and near immediate
results for timely processing of patient records are top
priorities. AcuSuite®, Acusis’ proprietary software
solution, provides a secure method for the management of
the entire medical transcription
process from dictation capture to the delivery of final
electronic reports. Careful attention to Quality Control
and Quality Assurance issues allows the Company to support
98% accuracy in a 24 hour or less turnaround period.
This integration of efforts creates
a seamless interface between two companies, both with corporate
interests in streamlining the internal processes of medical
enterprises through related product and service software
suites.
According to Acusis president and CEO,
David Iwinski, Jr., “This alliance with MedAptus will
help us to further assist our customers by expanding our
base offering. Including such vital support components,
like the handheld dictation capabilities and the access
to information like diagnostic coding and patient medical
records in one device, is key to our ability to have a complete
end-to-end medical transcription and business solution.
We’re pleased that such a well-respected company has
decided to join and support us in our efforts.”
Said MedAptus Chief Medical Officer,
Lance Baldo, M.D., “MedAptus is very excited about
our partnership with Acusis. The combination of point-of-care
charge capture with low-cost, accurate and reliable dictation
and transcription provides tremendous value for practices
who want to ease into technology. The additive return on
investment is astounding.”
