DMEhub auto-populates the forms necessary when physicians write DME orders for their patients. DMEhub's rules engine also ensures that these forms are filled out correctly and completed on the first attempt, eliminating the need to fax forms back and forth with a supplier.

"DMEhub is very excited to partner with one of the best EHRs in the market today. We feel that through this partnership we are bringing a solution to Aprima's customers that will save them time in their day-to-day workflow, therefore saving their practice money," said Jeff Jacobs, president of DMEhub. "This will separate Aprima from other EHRs on the market by offering a solution that the others do not have at this time."

DMEhub key features include:

• Auto-populates patient demographics – DMEhub through its integration with Aprima pulls the patient demographic information directly from the patients' records and populates the necessary forms. 
• Attaches supporting documentation – DMEhub allows the practice to attach any documents necessary to support the need of the ordered equipment.
• Electronically sends to the appropriate supplier – DMEhub ensures that all forms are sent electronically to the correct supplier, eliminating the need to print and fax these forms.  Once completed, it is then forwarded, in real time, to the correct supplier. This ensures more timely delivery of the needed supplies to the patient.
• Incorporates forms into the patient chart – Once all forms are completed and sent, DMEhub pushes all of the forms directly back into the patient's chart.

"Aprima is very pleased to be able to offer this important new time-saving feature to our customers. The need to automate the DME ordering process is becoming increasingly important as we see the population age, and the home healthcare market grow," said Michael Nissenbaum, Aprima president and CEO. "This is just another example of our commitment to offer best-of-breed value-added products and services to our customers, helping them improve their efficiencies and at the same time provide better patient care."

DMEhub for Aprima is available immediately directly from Aprima. More information about DMEhub for Aprima can be obtained by emailing [email protected].
