MedFORCE Technologies Software Release
WATERLOO, Iowa -- A new version of MedFORCE Scan is
being introduced this week at the Heartland
Conference 2004. MedFORCE Scan is the only HIPAA-compliant
document imaging solution designed for the DME-HME
industry.
MedFORCE Scan is specifically designed to meet the
ongoing challenges of the healthcare industry and
uses the latest technologies available in today’s
digital world. It replaces existing manual filing
systems with a centralized digital system,
functioning just like the paper files that clients
are used to dealing with.
MedFORCE Scan allows for various levels of authority
for accessing, updating and printing patients’
files, and can produce HIPAA reports on-demand.
Electronic Remittance Notices can be automatically
imported into patients’ files and printing of
Explanations of Medical Benefits for a specific
patient can be isolated and simplified for easier
follow-up.

being introduced in the current upgrade are:
-
Highlighter tool

White-out tool

Enhanced sticky notes

Recycle bin function

“All of
the product improvements that are being introduced
are the direct result of customer feedback,”
explains Esther Apter, CEO of MedFORCE Technologies,
Inc. and president of sister company Healthcare
Management Solutions Inc. “Our consultative approach
allows us to stay on top of customer needs; that’s
why we introduce frequent – and free – upgrades to
anyone who purchases an annual maintenance
contract.”
MedFORCE Scan was first introduced to the public
last year. It is currently on its third version and
a fourth will be rolled-out in the Fall of 2004.
“MedFORCE Scan has very quickly become an extremely
valuable resource to our company,” explains Irene
Magee, vice president / director at Northeast Home
Medical Equipment. “It improved our ability to track
orders, answer patient and referral source
questions, audit charts for quality assurance and
allowed a visual comparison of the patient record to
support billing.”
