Radiation Oncologists are completely surrounded by some of the most advanced technology available.  So no one understands more than they do the necessity of several complex software programs and intricate radiation therapy equipment to interface seamlessly and provide accurate and complete data at the blink of an eye.

 

 So then why should you not be able to have the same functionality between all types of medical software containing all types of patient data.  Integrating multiple systems to form your DATA TEAM can enhance your work environment and improve efficiency. 

 

 This especially applies to those EHR systems that are holding your billing data hostage.  Your billing and coding software should be able to directly import data such as patient demographics and procedures performed from your EHR. This type of integration will eliminate the need for re-entry of patient data into the billing system by office staff.

 

 Here is the good news:  Iridium Suite medical billing software now comes with the Connectivity Clearinghouse enabling connections to multiple EHR systems. You can connect to your EHR as often as your office work flow dictates. With accurate and complete data entry in your EHR, you are able to bring in all the necessary information to bill and file your patient claims.

 

The Connectivity Clearinghouse offers flexibility by supporting a wide range of secure communication protocols such as: LLP, HTTPS, and SFTP.

 

It can also easily customize HL7 data fields allowing medical data systems to exchange a wider variety of information.

 

In addition to accommodating HL7 data formats, the Connectivity Clearinghouse works with other data formats such as XML, ANSI EDI x12 and DICOM, offering greater interoperability between systems.

 

 By utilizing the Connectivity Clearinghouse, practices are able to achieve seamless integration between their EHRs and practice management systems.  This level of integration enhances office staff productivity and reduces errors by eliminating the need to key data multiple times into multiple systems. 

 

For those Radiation Oncologists: Iridium Suite is compatible with most of the major Record and Verify Systems, including Mosaiq (IMPAC) and Aria.  Oncochart imports are done easily via HL7 for no additional cost.

 

 The versatility of the Connectivity Clearinghouse found in Iridium Suite practice management software provides the foundation to integrate with your existing Electronic Health Record and/or Record and Verify systems, saving your practice time and money.
