Supporting Clinicians to Empower Patients
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xpress Technologies has expanded its Electronic Health Record (EHR) to include integration of patient education content powered by ExitCare, LLC. The addition of discharge instructions and patient education to this platform will help providers and facilities meet meaningful use requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 instituted incentive programs that will provide payments to eligible professionals, hospitals and critical access hospitals as they implement or demonstrate "meaningful use" of certified EHR technology. "Simply put, ‘meaningful use' means providers need to show they're using certified EHR technology in ways that can be measured significantly in quality and in quantity," according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
"ExitCare is excited to partner with Xpress Technologies," states ExitCare's Executive Vice President Richard Thompson. "Xpress Technologies is a recognized leader in the market because of its proven innovation and technology."
Over the last 28 years, Xpress Technologies has refined and streamlined XpressCharts EHR to be one of the most advanced emergency department and urgent care EHRs on the market today. XpressCharts is a thorough, chief complaint-driven, digital record of a patient encounter that can be completed in minutes.
From its inception, ExitCare has specialized in the design and development of discharge Instructions and patient education information-strategically choosing not to enter the field of patient tracking, charting and billing. This level of expertise has positioned ExitCare as a premier patient education solutions provider to companies like Xpress Technologies for a more diversified product portfolio.
"We appreciate that ExitCare is recognized as the market leader for discharge instructions and patient education content," said Xpress Technologies CEO, Ralph Badanowski, MD. "The company has clearly differentiated itself by providing an enterprise-wide solution. ExitCare was able to meet all of our market needs with emergency department and urgent care center-tailored information in ten different languages as well as standard and Easy-to-Read documents."
"The addition of ExitCare to XpressCharts was a natural fit," said Xpress Technologies COO, Walter Reese. "Together we can provide a product that capitalizes on our respective fields of expertise to offer an all-in-one solution to our clients."
