US Oncology Launches Oncology-Specific EHR to the Open Market
Date:6/10/2009

om anywhere at any time, without the need of a hardcopy patient record. Patient safety is enhanced by eliminating handwritten notes and orders, minimizing misinterpretations, and the system detects possible medication conflicts, generating a safety alert to the attending oncologist and staff. The system also helps practices stay current on billing as charge codes, billable units, primary diagnosis codes and billable drug waste for each visit are calculated, allowing staff to spend more time focusing on patient care.

Community oncologists across the nation are invited to attend a special webinar focusing on the Medicare Health Information Technology (HIT) Stimulus at 2 pm EDT, Friday, July 10. Sponsored by iKnowMed, this webinar will feature a status report of standards for qualified EHRs and meaningful use requirements -- as defined by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONCHIT) at the Secretariat of Health & Human Services (HHS) -- how standards should be set, and which standards should apply to oncology-specific EHRs. To register for the webinar, visit www.opspharmacist.com/HITStimulus. For more information on iKnowMed or other US Oncology services, call (866) 216-5053 or visit www.usoncology.com.
