As many of you may already know, the most talked about new direction in information
technology within the medical community is Electronic Health Records.

Rather than write a new EHR system from scratch, and with the future importance of EHR in mind, McKesson chose to purchase a program that had already been chosen number one by many standard setting organizations. This fully integrated, billing/EHR system is the finest available on the market today and is known as Practice Partner.

Practice Partner is one of the elite programs certified by the CCHIT and recognized by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This program received top rankings for the fourth consecutive year in the AC Group Rating Report which judges practice management and electronic health record systems. The AC Group judges systems based on product functionality, end-user satisfaction, company financial viability, client base, technology, and price.

For those of you who are currently looking for an EHR solution, we have great news for you. The billing side of this integrated solution will be free based on your up to date maintenance contract.

For those of you who are not currently interested in EHR, we have equally good news… You don’t have to do anything. While McKesson will no longer maintain PPM after March of 2008, HealthCare Data Systems has entered into a joint venture with another large dealership in Ohio to continue maintenance on the PPM product you currently own. You will receive the same maintenance bill you have been receiving over the years with no significant increases in cost. HealthCare Data Systems does not want any of you to be forced to make a decision before you are ready. We are confident that when you are ready to move up to electronic health records, Practice Partner will comfortably fulfill your needs.

If you have any questions regarding EHR please call Wendy and she will put you in contact with one of our certified consultants or arrange a demonstration. Our staff has been well trained in the new Practice Partner EHR and is eager to help you investigate what the new technology in healthcare information systems can do for your office.
