BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NaviNet, America’s largest real-time healthcare communications network, announced today that it has signed more than 1,000 providers to the comprehensive NaviNet PM (Practice Management) and NaviNet EMR (Electronic Medical Records) in the first three months since general availability. NaviNet PM enables provider practices to manage patient information efficiently and effectively, while NaviNet EMR delivers physician practices electronic health record functionality and helps them to achieve Meaningful Use quickly and painlessly. The linked integration of these solutions into NaviNet Insurer Connect is a patient-centric strategy that empowers healthcare professionals to deliver better patient satisfaction, enhance claims collections, and lower the costs of high-quality care delivery.
This spectacular adoption trajectory reflects providers’ need for a unified patient information management (UPIM) system that integrates seamlessly with other providers, health plans and healthcare service providers. The NaviNet solution set gives health care professionals one central place to access all of the key patient information and systems they need to improve clinical outcomes and deliver a better patient experience. The solution set supports the vast majority of requirements across most medical specialties. NaviNet EMR version 1.0 is a CCHIT Certified® 2011 Ambulatory EHR. In addition, NaviNet EMR is ONC-ATCB-compliant and enables physician offices to apply for Meaningful Use incentives. At the same time, NaviNet PM and NaviNet EMR lower the cost of delivering patient care and, thus, deliver a high ROI for the physician practices.
“Healthcare delivery organizations look to technology to enhance clinical decision support and reduce healthcare costs. As such, implementation of electronic medical records and practice management systems continues to be high priority for providers and payers alike,” said Thomas J. Handler, M.D., Research Director, Gartner. “When those systems easily fit into existing practice workflows, and can be integrated with health plan communications to provide centralized access to patient information, the opportunity for providers to streamline operations and deliver better, more cost-effective care is significant.”
NaviNet PM brings transformative business value to the practice. It helps providers to collect all of the reimbursements and payments they are owed, improving claims resolution capabilities and billing/collections effectiveness.
NaviNet EMR enables providers to improve patient outcomes, take advantage of the efficiency of Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), provide continuity of care documentation (CCD/CCR), automate and integrate clinical decision-support materials, and monitor compliance with Meaningful Use incentives. The integrated patient portal offers practices the opportunity to communicate directly with patients, exceed Stage 1 Meaningful Use requirements and positions them for Meaningful Use Stages 2 and 3.
“More than 130,000 physician offices already use NaviNet Insurer Connect to support their business processes. By adding NaviNet PM and NaviNet EMR to their workflow, practices can continue to leverage their existing business processes while conveniently accessing them from within the NaviNet PM and NaviNet EMR solution. Our measurements-based implementation process is tailored to each constituent of a medical practice and designed to achieve real success, module-by-module, without interrupting the workflow,” said Sebastiaan Foppema, Senior Vice President, Provider Sales and Operations, NaviNet. “The secure hosted user-friendly SaaS-based solution enables physicians to focus on their patients, not IT. And the entire practice can leverage the financial benefits to quickly generate an attractive ROI, especially given that there is no up-front fee.”
